PRIVATE HAND-BUILDING MUG WORKSHOP - IN MY BEAUTIFUL GARDEN STUDIO IN RURAL SOMERSET

All the skills you learn can be transferred to your own home practice - with just a few simple tools, you can continue making mugs at home!

Come and spend a couple of blissful hours in my garden studio learning how to hand-build your very own ceramic mugs. No pottery wheel required - we’ll be using simple, satisfying hand-building techniques to create mugs that are full of character and completely unique to you. The mugs will then be fired and glazed and delivered to you a month or so later!

This 2-hour workshop is perfect if:

• You want a fun and creative way to spend a morning or afternoon.

• You’re a complete beginner curious about working with clay.

• You’ve tried pottery before and would like to learn more about hand-building techniques.

• You’d like to design and make mugs that are truly personal - add a name or date - whether for yourself or as a heartfelt gift.

• You simply want a mindful, hands-on escape in a beautiful setting.

You’ll learn how to roll and join slabs, add handles, and create decorative details so your mugs reflect your own style. I’ll be right there to guide you through each step, making sure you feel confident and inspired.

After the Workshop
Once your mugs are made, I’ll carefully dry, bisque fire, glaze, and glaze-fire them for you. This process usually takes around 3–4 weeks, as pottery can’t be rushed. When they’re ready, you can either collect them from my studio or I can post them to you. You’ll then be able to enjoy using your handmade mugs for years to come.

Once booked, I’ll be in touch to plan your session and make sure it’s tailored just for you.
