As part of the RQAS Workshop Festival, ceramic artist Carys Martin invites you to slow down, get hands-on, and explore the joy of decorating functional ceramics in this popular Marvellous Mugs workshop.Held at Carys Martin Ceramics (offsite from Petrie Terrace Gallery), this relaxed and welcoming session focuses on surface decoration and personal expression. Participants will each receive a leather-hard, wheel-thrown mug form to work upon, allowing you to concentrate fully on texture, pattern, and design without the pressure of throwing the form yourself.
You’ll be guided through a range of decorative techniques including carving, mark-making, applied elements, and subtle use of colour to create a mug that feels uniquely yours. Once complete, pieces will be fired and glazed by the studio and ready for collection a few weeks later.
✨ Ideal for:
• Those curious about ceramic surface decoration
• Art lovers keen to try something new during the RQAS Workshop Festival
• Anyone who loves handmade, everyday objects
• Beginners through to experienced makers
All materials, tools, firings, and glazing are included in ticket price.
When: Saturday, 21st of March, 10am-12pm
Ticket price: $100 members $115 non-members
Location: Offsite at Carys Martin Ceramics - Unit 11, 7-9 Grant St, Cleveland
Suitable for beginners through to more experienced makers, this workshop encourages playful exploration and slow, mindful making. This workshop is also suitable for teenagers, but we do ask that younger teens should come with a parent or guardian.
