Workshop Details

Learn to hand build your own stoneware clay mug with a handle following step by step instructions, with no experience needed. This mug has a beautiful design with a unique square shape and cool pixel heart, a throwback to the great original video games!

After the sculpting step, we will bisque your clay in our kiln once it's dried. Book your return visit for glazing (adding colour) and take it home once it's fired again.

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1.5 hours of instruction, stay up to 30 min after to finesse. 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 one week after your build date. We recommend booking 1-1.5 hours, depending on the amount of detail :)

Workshop FAQs

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.
