this september, learn new clay techniques and use our professional studio to create a charming cat mug for your next tasty beverage. in this no-experience-needed workshop, enjoy the process as you create and transform a lump of clay into a beautiful piece of art.
you’ll be guided through step-by-step instructions on how to hand-build a beautiful mug. then return to glaze it with colours of your choice when you return. make this little cutie one of a kind with an adorable cozy sweater.
Timeline
1. Build & Sculpt: 1 hour of building and an extra 30 minutes for smoothing, if needed. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.
2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least 14 days after your build date. We recommend booking 1 hour, depending on the amount of detail :)
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.
"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, with summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer."
