make & paint your own mug

make & paint your own mug

join us for 2 hours full of crafty chat, inspiration & fun

meet new people, make new friends, create & feel inspired

made with ~500g of clay, this mug will be the perfect vessel for your morning beverage or night time tea

get your hands dirty & learn how to hand build clay using the pinch pot method

we will spend the first half of the session making the piece & the second half painting with a wide range of underglaze colours to choose from!

what you will get to go home with:

• your own handmade & hand painted ceramic mug (after it has been fired)!

• a night of stimulating conversation

• new connections & friendships

• a sense of belonging to a new community

some notes on the painting:

• we will be using underglaze to paint the mugs

• underglazes are designed for decorative painting only (not covering the entire mug in one colour), so challenge your creativity to come up with a pattern or design that you want to do!

• I will have lots of inspiration & ideas for you to look through

• underglazes will look different once they've worked their magic in the kiln, so test tiles are provided as your guide when choosing your colour palette

I will take your handmade beauty & the ceramic fairies will finish your piece off for you (kiln firing & top glazing)

the mug will be fired & available for collection or shipping (for a small fee) 2-4 weeks after the workshop depending on kiln wait times

it will be food safe, dishwasher friendly & a magnificent addition to your handmade collection (or the start of one!)

all materials are provided, all you need to bring is yourself!

everyone of all abilities is welcome, however you must be over 16 to attend <3
