Tour Details

We'll start with the basics of working with clay, and through the slab technique, you'll shape, sculpt, and design your unique piece. Once your mug is crafted, you'll have the option to decorate it with textures, stamps, or patterns before it gets fired in the kiln. This experience is all about creativity, fun, and learning something new. No prior pottery experience is needed – just come ready to get your hands dirty and leave with a personalized, one-of-a-kind ceramic mug to use or display at home!
