Make a Mug

Details

BEGINNER FRIENDLY. PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT TOUCHED CLAY BEFORE. This is a relaxed, 2 hour hands-on experience where you’ll leave with something unique and entirely your own. All materials provided. Small class size (8 students) and patient instructors. PART 1 - A mug is more than a vessel; it’s a daily ritual, a small piece of earth that holds warmth, comfort, and intention. In this workshop, you’ll shape soft clay into a form that feels right in your hands, coaxing it into becoming your perfect mug and handle. Then, bring it to life with your own markings, textures, and colour; a reflection of your spirit in ceramic form. Each piece emerges utterly unique, infused with the maker’s touch and truly, sipping from something you’ve made yourself never loses its magic.
