Information

Date:   Sunday 26th April 26
Time:  10am - 2pm

Option 2 - your choice.  paint, transfers, sculpt or a combo of all these techniques.

This workshop will be run in two parts.   The first part we will make your blank mug.  Once this is made we will stop for a quick lunch before decorating, painting your mug in the afternoon.   The break will allow the mug to harder a little as well as give you ample time to decorate your mug.

This workshop is a step by step class until you get the basic shape made, then you are free to create, sculpt, paint as you like.  I will be there to guide you of course.

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 1 or 2 glaze colours from my colour test tiles.  One inside, one out.

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 7 people.   Please be aware, I need a minimum of 4 people booked for this class to go ahead.   If the minimum number is not reached you will be given a full refund.

Available for ages 15 plus

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting grubby, BYO apron (there are some available in the studio as well).   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** Spaces for workshops are very limited.   If you need to cancel your booking, 7 days is preferred but I will accept up to 72 hours so it gives me enough time to fill your spot/s.   If you simply forget your booking no refund will be given.

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.
