Service Description

Make the mug you'll reach for every morning. In this one-time, beginner-friendly handbuilding class, you'll build your own coffee mug from slabs of clay, no wheel required. You'll roll out an even slab, cut and shape your mug's walls, score and slip your seams so they hold strong, and add a comfortable handle. Then you'll make it yours with texture, carving, or simple surface decoration while the clay is still soft. It's a relaxed, hands-on session, perfect for first-timers. Prerequisites None. Complete beginners are welcome. Firing No firing tickets are included, and firing is completely optional. If you'd like your piece or pieces fired, firing tickets are $15 per piece, which covers bisque firing and a clear glaze. Pieces are ready for pickup about 3-4 weeks after class. What to Bring Hand towel (the studio does not provide towels or paper towels) Apron Clothes you don't mind getting a little muddy Come build a mug worth savoring.
