You will learn to construct mugs from soft clay using your fingertips and hands. Pinch pots will allow you to shape unique and organic forms, while slab building will enable you to construct more structured and intricate designs.

Throughout the workshops, the instructor will provide demonstrations, personalized guidance, and helpful tips to help you refine your techniques.

Price includes all materials used in the session.

You are able to keep 2 pots from the session. Pots will be ready usually within three weeks, but sometimes longer depending on firing schedules. You will be notified by email when your pots are ready. We ask that you pick up or arrange for your pots to be delivered to you (for an additional fee) within one month of the original pick up email being sent out. If your pieces have not been picked up or sent within this time-frame then we regret that we will have had to give to our local community, as we are so limited on shelf space.

A welcome email with further instructions about what to expect before your class is sent around a week before your class commences. This email will be sent to the email provided at booking.

We really hope that you enjoy your workshop with us!
