Workshop Details

this workshop combines simplicity with serious funkyness where you first build a mug by hand in part 1 and decorate it in part 2. the fun really explodes when you return to add the rainbow of colourful glazes after the mug has been fired in the kiln. in this no-experience-needed workshop, enjoy the process as you create and transform a simple mug into a beautiful piece of art.

it's time to create beautiful objects that will bring joy to your home!

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.
