BEGINNER FRIENDLY! This is a relaxed, 3 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 - Build a mug with serious personality, not just another thing to hold your coffee. This is your chance to hand-shape a piece that feels unmistakably yours, a little quirky, a little bold, and fully alive with character. Add the details that make you grin. Think patterns that wander, expressive faces, oddball symbols, textures pulled from the natural world, or even a tiny creature hitching a ride on the handle. Whether your style leans refined, rustic, or delightfully strange, this mug is here to show it off. Let your instincts take the lead while the clay keeps you grounded. No need to overthink it. Follow what feels good in your hands and see where it goes. By the end, you will have a mug that is equal parts functional and fascinating, ready to cradle your favourite drink and quietly remind you that you made something wonderfully uncommon.
