Slip Studio

Pasta + Boards Workshop
2026-06-12 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Slip Studio, 10 County Center Rd, Suite 127, White Plains , NY, 10607, United States
A new “working lunch” series on Fridays only. I’m excited to welcome my good friend and amazing cooking instructor, Kate Solomon to Slip Studio for a pasta dinner.

We’ll start off by talking all about pasta. We’ll go over all of the classic Italian shapes, plus some lesser-known ones. Kate will teach you how to knead and roll fresh pasta by hand—no machines required. We’ll make classic shapes like orecchiette and cavatelli, talking through technique and texture. Pasta Rigate – ridged pasta is used for holding onto thick sauces, like meat ragu and cream-based sauces.

We’ll then settle into making our own pasta texture boards using slabs of leather-hard brown stoneware clay. Ariella will walk you through carving and shaping, creating your own unique board. She will then slowly dry your boards, fire and glaze them, ready for pick-up 4-6 weeks later.

And finally, we’ll all sit down for a delicious pasta dinner catered by Kate; pasta with two sauces, salad, and drinks.

Materials, tools, clay, and instruction are all included – plus a delicious sit-down meal:)

Looking for a date night or a mom’s night out? This is a casual workshop, no experience necessary! Bring your creativity and your friends for a mindful evening and a chance to unplug.

The Process:

Compress, shape, and cut a thick slab of clay
Slowly carve your shapes, crevaces and divets into the clay

Looking for a date night or a mom’s night out? This is a casual workshop, no experience necessary! Bring your creativity and your friends for a mindful evening and a chance to unplug.

Parking is free and plentiful. Bathrooms are clean and across the hall. Please come dressed and ready to get your hands and maybe even your clothes a little dirty.

Ariella will do her best to accommodate for lateness and skill level, repairing work when she can to ensure the highest likelihood of survival through the kiln process. Workshops & Family Clay Date cancellation and refund policy: 50% refund with written cancellation up to 1 week before the workshop. Cancellations received less than 1 week before will not be refunded. Rescheduling due to illness is permitted only once. PLEASE NOTE: There are NO guarantees in pottery! While working in clay is calming, pottery comes with many unknowns. Pottery is unpredictable and sometimes unforgiving. While Ariella will do her best to walk you through each step of the process, sometimes cracks and issues present themselves along the way. Either in the soft and malleable stage, or as the piece dries and hardens, and even into the bisqueware stage, clay moves and shifts. Even the best potters cannot predict the outcome, so please keep this in mind! Working in clay is meditative and gratifying; however, it is also humbling, as there are many factors out of our control. This is the magic of ceramics- learning to let go and allowing for the process to guide you, and accepting that we are not always in control. This is the beauty of clay. So enjoy the workshop, class, or private event, and remember that the experience IS the best part of pottery! The final product is just the icing on the cake:).
