Make your own set of mugs or cups. During this short pottery class, you will be making mugs or cups, with our own personal style. Mugs are everywhere and remain one of the favorite objects to make out of ceramics. But what goes into making one? What considerations are important when making a mug completely by hand? This taster class will give you a good basis into a hand-building technique that is used to make cylinders, which is the basis for making mugs, cups and other objects. Let it be the start of your journey into pottery or a fun activity with a friend. The pieces you create can also be perfect as thoughtful gifts. Who is this class for? This class is for everyone. No experience needed. Thank you for your understanding that our classes are only open to adults. Course Outline A two hour guided session You will be making up to two pieces (cups and/or mugs). Some people make one elaborate mug, some people make two simple cups.

It is a shorter, introductory course, but enough time to discover the materials and make something unique. We will also cover a few decorative techniques, so you have the chance to make your set special to you. Classes will be held in a relaxed setting, with a max. of 8 participants per class. This enables plenty of 1-on-1 time to get the most out of this taster session. After the class, you will leave the pieces with us to be finished. We will take care of firing and coating them in a glossy white glaze. They will take about 3 to 4 weeks to be finished and we will notify you by email when they are ready to be collected. Please note that we can only keep pieces 2 months after you have been notified. Cancellation policy: Classes are non-refundable but you can rebook to a future class, provided you give at least 7 days notice.
