Mugapalooza is a one-day celebration of our favorite handmade object: THE MUG! They are functional, expressive, collectible, and they make drinking coffee just a little bit more enjoyable.
Join us for an afternoon of making mugs, watching other people making mugs, shopping for mugs, and possibly winning a mug in our raffle!
Schedule of Events:
1–4 PM — Mug Sale
Browse a wide selection of handmade mugs made by Vallejo Clay students and instructors. From everyday favorites to one-of-a-kind showpieces. Come early for the best picks. Free admission.
1–1:30 PM — Mug Making Demonstration
How is a mug even made? Watch the magic happen as we walk through the process of creating a mug from start to finish. Limited seating, ticketed people get priority.
2–3:30 PM — Mug Making Workshop
You can make your own new favorite mug with guidance from our instructors. Grab a friend and let's mug out together!
3:45 PM — Mug Beauty Contest — Winners Announced
Which mug has the best shape? The best handle? The best surface design? Which mug is the most *extra* and which is most likely to be fought over in your home? Our clay community will decide and the winners will be given away in our mug raffle.
