Looking for an unusual and memorable gift? Maybe you'd like to try your hand at something new? Come along and make a pair of mugs.The Workshop
In this workshop you will make your own pair of ceramic mugs from scratch and decorate them as you choose . The workshop is relaxed, informal and suitable for complete beginners or those who've worked with clay before. Whether you've got bags of ideas and inspiration or not, don't worry, we'll provide any help you need to make something brilliant!
Using stoneware clay, you will learn to hand build the mugs using slabs of clay and can draw your decoration or choose from a wide selection of stamps to create your own unique patterns . You will also be able to pick one of seven glazes to have your piece finished in.
Tuition will be provided by two experienced ceramicists Amy and Sue, and with small numbers on our workshops, you can have as much or as little guidance as you like! All materials and firing are included as well as use of equipment on the day. Refreshments will be provided too!
After the workshop your creations will be carefully transported back to the studio where it will be fired and glazed. The finished pieces will be wrapped in 100% biodegradable packaging and ready for collection about 3 weeks later. The mugs will be dishwasher, microwave and oven safe.
