We’re making mugs, everyone’s favorite piece of functional art! In this 3-hr workshop we’ll discuss all things clay, then make our very own mug using three techniques: pinching, coiling, and pulling (for handles).
If you’ve taken a mug workshop with me before, you know that the form of the pot is just as difficult as designing it. In this workshop we’ll focus on form (how do I make my mug taller? what’s the right shape for my cappuccino?) and texture (how do I get a smooth surface vs. a textured one?). After we get our basic shape down, then I will teach you how to make clean, refined, and elegant handles using the “pulling” technique.
At the end of the workshop you’ll get to choose a glaze combo and your mug will be fired and ready for pickup in 4-6 weeks (we can also ship your mug anywhere in the US!)
All materials are provided. Just bring yourself & wear comfortable clothes. Trimmed nails help!
Snacks and are drinks encouraged!
