If you’ve always wanted to try out a pottery class, this is the perfect place to start. In this fun workshop, you will learn how to hand-build your own mugs from scratch! Join us in this one afternoon, beginner friendly, workshop and make 2 customized mugs in this creative and engaging pottery class using the slab-technique. Throughout the class you will be led through a step-by-step demonstration on how to create a utilitarian vessel with a handle. You will then be set free to make your own mugs with the instructor on hand for guidance. We encourage everyone to add their own touches and artistic flair, so they have a truly one-of-a-kind functional creation. You will then be able to choose one of our core glaze colors to finish your piece. Firing and glazing will be done by Atelier van de Ven. Once your pieces are ready, you will be notified via email for a pickup moment.
