Workshop: Jan 7 - Feb 4 (Mugs & Tumblers)

Make a pair of Mugs or a Set of Tumblers

Wednesday January 7 to February 4, 2026 – 1:00 - 3:00pm

This five-week, introductory handbuilding class will get your hands wet creating from a raw block of clay and at the end of the workshop you will walk away with a new pair of mugs or a fresh set of tumblers. 

During the four weeks of building we will explore the three main hand building techniques, slab, coil and pinch with a focus on building mugs using the slab method. You will learn more about the amazing properties of clay, and together we will look at some of its properties and some of its limitations. 

Touch, feel, form and shape what goes into creating one of our most treasured and used utensils, the mug or the cup. We will see the different ways handles are made and attached. The first four classes will focus on designing and finishing our mugs. The last class will be a glazing class. 

Maximum: 5 students | Minimum: 4
