BYOB Make a Mug Pottery Workshop

2 hrs
(29)

A relaxed, beginner-friendly pottery workshop where you’ll sip, sculpt and create your own handmade mug to keep.

This 2-hour workshop is suitable for ceramic beginners, or anyone who has briefly experimented with clay and wants to give it another go!

Once you finish your gorgeous mug you can get stuck into painting them with a range of different coloured slips! They will then be left to dry for a week, after which they will be bisque fired, glazed and fired again. Pieces are usually ready to collect between 4 - 6 weeks after creation. These beauties will definitely be worth the wait!

What to expect:

  • A 2-hour pottery workshop where you’ll make your own ceramic mug

  • A short demonstration to introduce simple hand-building techniques

  • Step-by-step guidance from a friendly, experienced ceramicist

  • Shape your mug and add handles, textures and personal details

  • Decorate your piece using coloured slips and tools

  • A relaxed, social atmosphere - with your favourite drinks welcome (BYOB)

What you need to know:

  • No experience needed — beginner-friendly, with all materials and guidance included

  • Your mug will be fired and glazed after the session, ready to collect in around 4–6 weeks

  • Dishwasher safe and made to last

  • You’ll be notified when your piece is ready

  • Aprons recommended — expect a little clay

Any pottery made during the workshop is kept at the studio for a maximum of 3 months upon point of collection email being sent!

COVID-19 guidelines

Unfortunately, I will no longer be accepting last minute cancellations or rescheduling due to covid related issues as Government regulations have been dropped in regards to covid.

On the day

Wear clothes that you don't mind getting a bit mucky! Nothing we work with stains, but it can be a bit messy.

I recommend cutting/filing your nails as it can get a little fiddly and difficult with long nails.
