Online Workshop
Setting a table with your own handmade items adds a unique and personal element to every gathering. Your table can become a canvas for your creative expression. Step into the timeless art of creating handmade treasures for your table---from the rustic charm of air-dry Italian clay [no kiln needed] to the delicate touch of hand embroidery, discover the joy of creating unique pieces that elevate every table setting.
You will mold and sculpt clay into unique serving pieces that bear the mark of your personal style. Explore the art of hand embroidery, where every stitch weaves a narrative into your table linens, making time at your table moments to savor.
We will search our home for hidden gems—those forgotten treasures that can be repurposed into stunning table settings. Whether it's a vintage teacup turned into a candle holder or a charcuterie board that becomes a plate, we’ll celebrate the beauty of repurposing and reimagining using unconventional items as serving pieces.
Let's create not just items, but memories, one handmade masterpiece at a time; as the table will become a canvas for your creativity.

Daune Pitman
Daune Pitman grew up among a family of entrepreneurs, artists, and gatherers in North Carolina. She owned her first business when she was six and created pen and ink drawings of the beach each day after school, and then went door-to-door selling them. Morning walks in the garden, markets, coffee, fresh flowers, books, a beautifully set table, delicious food, faith, family, travel, adventure, great company….these are a few of her favorite things.
Daune and her husband, Keith, are former professional ballet dancers. After spending many years performing professionally in companies nationwide she and Keith have found themselves nestled in a cottage in Eastern NC, where they love to gather people, dream, and launch adventures. After homeschooling their three children, they are new empty nesters.
She believes our homes are our most powerful place of ministry, and with a passion for home, gathering, creativity, and travel, Daune launched The Cottage Table Experience and hosts long table gatherings, live workshops on creative home + hospitality + gathering, and creative retreats abroad and in the U.S. While being very content with where she is, she is homesick for places she has never been, and believes wholeheartedly that we should seize the common occasions and make them great!
