Forest Cup

Join us for this 2-visit clay workshop!

Create your own hand-built miniature forest scape using stoneware clay. Make your cup unique by sculpting tiny mushrooms and creating textured moss—like it came right from a forest! After building, book a second session to come back and paint your Forest Cup with brightly coloured underglaze paints.

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.
