Join this unique workshop to create a personalized coil-built dish for your favorite items. Experiment with various templates and unleash your creativity by combining your piece with vibrant, recycled glass from Remark Glass.

This class takes place at Black Hound Clay Studio South: 1701 Federal Street, South Philadelphia.

Duration: 2 Hours

In this fun beginner-friendly workshop, you'll make a slab built functional mug perfect for your favorite beverage. Using a variety of stamps and textures, you’ll be able to personalize your mug to be as unique as you! Once you’re finished, you will select your glaze and your pieces will be glazed and fired by the studio and available for pick up in 3-4 weeks. The fired mug will be food, microwave and dishwasher safe.

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