Try HAND BUILDING a MUG for yourself or someone you love! We’ll get you all set up, give you the clay, materials, tools and tricks to help you make something very special.
We have hundreds of stamps to choose from or bring something that has meaning to you. Make one or 2 mugs during the class and you will be amazed at how good it feels to get lost in the creative process. Bring a friend or family member and have a clay experience. This is appropriate for most ages and skill levels.
Work takes approximately 4-6 weeks to be fired and ready for pick-up. If you are visiting the area shipping is available for an additional fee.
Always wanted to try the potter’s wheel? Sign-up for our Individual Try-It Night. With the help of a teaching artist and some clay, you’ll be shown how to center and pull the clay up to make a vessel. Great for families and friends! KIDS are welcomed with an adult.
$75 per person includes a 2-hour session and one or two finished pieces. Depends on how you do! If you make more than 2 and love all the lumpy children equally and want to keep, each additional piece is $10.
