In this clay handbuilding class, you’ll create a slab-built mug from start to finish, focusing on clean construction and thoughtful details. Once your mug is formed, you’ll add tiny hand-shaped heart accents to the outside, attaching them using proper scoring and slipping techniques.After building, you’ll glaze the heart details in red and pink for a pop of color. Once fired, the mug will be finished with a dip glaze in either classic white or bold black, creating a striking contrast that lets the hearts really stand out. The result is a functional, handmade mug with a sweet, modern touch—perfect for Valentine’s Day or gifting to someone you love.
No clay experience needed—just bring your creativity, and we’ll guide you step-by-step!
Pre-registration is required — each person in your group (including kids) must have a ticket.
