Leaf Dish Tutorial - Slab-building dishes from clay and pressing in leaves

Hi Friends
Here’s a tutorial on how I made the leaf dishes we had at our wedding to serve all the food on. I love setting the table with lots of different sized ones to make the tablescape look extra special. I’ll take you through all the steps from start to finish and hope you find this tutorial helpful.
Happy Pottering!

This was so much fun to watch! 🍁 These leaf bowls turned out gorgeous for your wedding! I made a charcuterie board with a maple leaf from a tree in front of my home once and now I want to make bowls with them!
I would love the recipe to the oribe glaze that you mentioned please, if you would still like to share. It's a perfect autumnal color for this project! 🍃 Thank you!
