Thumbprint Tumbler

Details

BEGINNER FRIENDLY! PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER TOUCHED CLAY BEFORE. This is a relaxed, hands-on experience where you’ll leave with something unique and entirely your own. All materials provided. Small class size and patient instructors. PART 1 - Create a vessel that feels like an extension of your own hands by crafting a no-handle thumbprint tumbler. Begin with a simple clay form and press your fingers into the surface, letting the shape soften and respond to your touch. Each impression becomes an echo of your energy, turning a simple vessel into something deeply personal and quietly magical. You’ll sculpt, refine, and smooth your tumbler until it fits just right in your palm. Add texture, carve gentle patterns, or keep it soft and organic. Your finished piece will hold the memory of your touch long after it’s fired, becoming a daily companion infused with intention, presence, and a little bit of your own magic. This workshop allows students (even first-timers!) to use our pre-approved glaze combinations to achieve spectacular, dimensional results on the surface of their piece. There is even an exclusive combo created for this workshop and this workshop ONLY! In this workshop you will learn how to: ~ Roll out a clay slab ~ Create a slab cylinder ~ Attach a base using scratch and slip ~ Create a thumb and finger imprints for holding ~ Decorate with stamps, carving, and glazes ~ Finish surfaces to minimize sharp areas ~ Optimize the functionality of your piece You can copy and paste this link into your browser to check out our Pinterest page for more inspiration: https://ca.pinterest.com/eccentricartiststudio/class-inspo/thumbprint-tumblermug/ PART 2 - GLAZING: After your workshop, return for a glazing session (included).
