Workshop Details

Join us at the studio this January to make a charming Love Mug! In this 2 part workshop, you'll design, sculpt, and glaze your very own stoneware clay mug, perfect for your next delicious beverage.

Winter is a cozy time when we snuggle up with blankets, enjoy hot drinks, and spend time with our favourite people. You can make your very own Love Mug to make these moments even more special, with a hand made creation!

Workshop FAQs

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.
