Honeycomb Mug

Join us for this 2-visit clay workshop!

In this clay workshop, you’ll learn to hand-build this honeycomb-printed mug from stoneware clay and sculpt tiny bumblebees too! In a second session, you will come back to the studio to add colour using a paint for clay called underglaze.

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.
