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.

Further information
During this taster course you will be able to make up to two pieces while learning the slab building. 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.

Classes Cancellation policies
Our classes are non-refundable. Booking a class is like buying a ticket for a concert or a movie. These are specific events bound to time and place and therefore not refundable.
You can rebook a class if you give us notice at least 7 days before the event. This means that you will be issued a voucher that you can use to book a future class.
If you let us know less than 7 days before the class starts, you will not be able to rebook the class. We are not able to make exceptions.
If we allowed for last minute cancellations we would have to significantly increase our prices to account for the risk, thus making our classes inaccessible to a lot of people. While we have waiting lists for our classes, it is very difficult to find replacements less than a week before the event (believe us, we've tried!).
Yes. You are welcome to transfer it to a friend if you can't make it. The policies above would still apply.
Our studio is for adults (for people of age 18 or above).
