Butter! Let's make a butter dish or two, covered, or not. Let Marian show you how to add designs, make unusual handles, carve something personalized, or just make a plain, traditional butter keeper. If you make your own butter, you can customize your dish to fit. All materials and tools will be provided for this 2 four-hour session. You may take your own apron if you like. First session to make, second to glaze, then allow an hour for delivery and to compliment each other's wonderful creations!
