Information

Date:  5th December 24
Time:  6:30 - 9pm

This workshop will run for approx 2 1/2 hours.   You will learn how to form the shape, join the base and handle as well as decorate using your choice of stamps etc that are available.  This workshop is a step by step class,  there will be a bit of down time between each step.

Clay used is my speckle clay you see on most mugs.   I've chosen this clay because I've found it to be the most forgiving.

You will be able to select a glaze colour from my colour test tiles.

Price includes all materials and tools needed to make your mug, sanding and glazing after the bisque fire, 2 x firings in the kiln (bisque and glaze) as well as me glazing it for you.

Your mug will be ready in approx 4 - 6 weeks (mugs need to dry slowly) for pick up.   I can courier for an extra $10 ($15 rural).

This is a small class with a maximum of 6 people.  

Available for ages 15 plus

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting grubby, or bring an apron.   It is advisable to have reasonably short nails when working with clay.  If you do have nails we can work around it but you might find that  you need to clean up the clay a bit more (even small nails will leave marks as we make the items).

Refreshment will be provided but feel free to BYO if you would like a wee dabble during the class.

**Note** if you need to cancel your booking please give me 48 hours notice so I can advertise your spot   

Please also be aware that due to the nature of pottery and firing x 2 means that sometimes things don't work out as they should.  I dry mugs super slowly but sometimes cracks etc still form.   It happens, it still happens to me and any potter you talk too will say the same.   I will do my utmost best and handle all your mugs with care but please be aware due to the nature of the craft there may be a breakage.   I really hope not, but sometimes it just happens.
