More info on Mug Workshop:
Join us in this fun and fast-paced mug making class where you will work with a skilled instructor and make a mug. All tools and clay will be supplied, just be ready to get those hands dirty.
Students will be provided with a pre-rolled clay slab, and will then be led through a step-by-step on how to create a mug using a template. Students will be able to personalize their mug using texture mats, stamps, and get creative with the shape of their mug and handle. Mugs will be fired and glazed by studio staff and will be ready for pickup in about 3-4 weeks.
Don't have any experience with clay? Don't worry! This class is good for beginners and more experienced potters alike.
Open to ages 12 and up. People under 14 need to be enrolled with another enrolled adult.
