Come make a ceramic mug of your very own.
Join us at Rooted for a hands-on pottery workshop where you’ll create your own ceramic mug from start to finish. We’ll build each mug by hand using the pinch pot method, then decorate it with underglaze (paint) to make it entirely your own.
Feeling festive? Add a little holiday cheer with seasonal colors, patterns, or designs. Prefer something you’ll use all year long? That’s perfectly fine too! Your mug can be as festive (or not!) as you’d like.
No pottery experience needed. I’ll guide you through the process step-by-step, from shaping and joining your clay to adding the finishing details that turn it into a functional cup made for your morning coffee, hot cocoa, or whatever you’d like to fill your new favorite mug with!
Come with a design in mind or figure it out as you go. Either way, you’ll leave having made a one-of-a-kind cup entirely your own.
What you’ll make and learn
Shape and build your own ceramic mug
Learn the basics of pinch pot handbuilding
Learn how to join and finish clay to create a functional cup
Decorate your cup using colorful underglazes
What’s Included
Your ticket includes all clay, tools, materials, instruction, underglazes, clear glazing, and kiln firing. Just come ready to make something!
After the Workshop
Your mug will stay with me to dry slowly before being fired in the kiln, finished with a clear glaze, and fired once more.
Finished pieces will be ready for pickup at Rooted approximately 3-5 weeks after the workshop. You’ll receive an email when yours is ready.
Once finished and fired, your mug will be food safe, dishwasher safe, and microwave safe.
Ages
This workshop is open to ages 12 and up. Participants ages 12-17 must attend with a participating adult who has also purchased a workshop ticket.
Good to Know
You may want to wear something you don’t mind getting a little clay on. Clay washes easily out of most clothing but just in case!
Part of the beauty of pottery is its unpredictability. Variations, imperfections, and occasionally even cracks can happen during the drying and firing. It’s all part of working with clay, and something to embrace in the handmade process.
Workshop ticket sales are final and non-refundable.
