Our "Make Your Own Mug" Workshops are a fun, easy way to try your hand at ceramics. This workshop is even more fun, because it'll be hosted by our friends at Wise Bird Cider!
This class is geared towards beginners, and uses a method called "handbuilding." Clay and all tools and supplies will be provided for you. Tickets include instruction on how to create a mug and any help you need along the way. Each participant will construct a cylinder, add a bottom, and then attach a handle.
Finally, everyone will have the option to glaze their mug with a design of their choosing, or let us dip their creation in one of our house glazes.
At the end of the class, you'll leave your mug with us. We'll take it back to the studio, fire your piece in our kilns, and let you know when it is finished. It can take up to three weeks for your piece to be fired and available for pickup.
Wise Bird Cider is located in the Distillery District. There is parking available, but we suggest you give yourself a few extra minutes because it can get pretty crowded! The address is:

Clay and glaze usually comes out of clothes, and the specific methods we’ll be using are not very messy. However, if you’re worried about it, consider wearing dark colors. Dark color clothing is able to hide all clay stains and most glaze stains!
Certainly! Our workshops are beginner friendly and a great fit for ages 7 and up. We ask that there be a parent or guardian present who is ready to help as needed.
Your ticket and order confirmation will be emailed to you after your purchase. Please reach out if you have any issues!
Tickets for our classes can be refunded three or more weeks before the event. Cancellations less than three weeks in advance will be non-refundable due to limited availability of seats, and the fact that each class is promoted and offered individually. Tickets can be transferred to a friend, or you can let us know you're looking for a replacement for your spot, and we will let you know if there is anyone on the waitlist.
