Make a Mug

Details

BEGINNER FRIENDLY BUT NOT BEGINNER ONLY! EVERYONE WILL LEARN SOMETHING AND HAVE SOME FUN. 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 people) and patient instructors. PART 1 -A Christmas mug is more than a vessel; it’s a little piece of seasonal magic, made to hold warmth when the days grow short and the nights grow long. In this workshop, you’ll shape soft clay into a mug that feels right in your hands, complete with a handle and plenty of room for your own creative mischief. Add textures, patterns, and colour to make it your own, whether that means classic Christmas, curious little creatures, gloriously odd details, or something that defies festive convention altogether. Once fired and ready to come home, your one-of-a-kind creation will be waiting for hot chocolate, morning coffee, and whatever else gets you through the holiday season. After all, Christmas is better when there’s a little bit of you in the mug.
