Holiday Mug-Making Workshop (November 16) - Fall 2025 Session 2

Celebrate the season with a handmade touch! In this festive one-day workshop, you'll design and build your very own ceramic mug—perfect for sipping cocoa, coffee, or tea all winter long.

Using handbuilding techniques (no wheel required), you’ll learn how to shape, attach, and decorate your mug with guidance from our instructors. Add personal flair with texture, stamps, or carving—then choose from a selection of glazes to finish your piece.

Your finished mug(s) will be fired and ready for pickup just in time for the holidays. Great for beginners and anyone looking to make a thoughtful, functional gift (or keep for yourself!).

What’s included:

All clay, tools, and materials
Instruction and hands-on support
Glazing and firing services
Custom ceramic mugs

Date: Sunday, November 16
