In this fun beginner-friendly workshop, you'll make a slab built functional mug perfect for your favorite beverage.

Our workshops are a great activity for friends, partners and families! Workshops are suitable for kids 10 and over with an accompanying adult.

A Note About Sliding Scale Workshops:

We wanted to make clay experiences accessible to as wide an audience as possible, so our workshops are priced in 3 tiers. If you are unfamiliar with how sliding scale fees work, we ask that you take a look at this graphic before you register to get a sense of where you fall on the scale.
