Pressed Trays

Pressed Trays

Trays are perfect for serving cheese and crackers, banana bread, side dishes, and snacks. Or, you can put on your dresser for jewelry, watches, and keepsakes or an entryway table to catch keys and mail. They also make wonderful centerpieces filled with pine cones, river stones, or candles. I’ll show you how to make your own from a clay slab and we’ll apply a bit of texture for added visual interest. So, come along and let’s make a tray together.
