Description

Create your own mug in this beginner-friendly workshop. Participants will learn to throw their ideal mug, ranging from casual espresso cups to voluminous vessels for dedicated coffee drinkers.

With the help of your instructor, Owen Comeau, you’ll be guided through the process of creating mug bodies, as well as covering basic techniques for refining forms and making handles. You will then finish off with picking a glaze from our selection.

No previous experience is required!

What to Expect

This workshop is 3 hours long, including clean-up time. Participants should expect approximately 2½ hours of pottery work, with the final 20–30 minutes reserved for cleaning and closing procedures.

Since clay needs time to dry, your instructor will clean up your forms, making sure to retain their natural personality and attaching the handles made in the workshop. With your chosen glaze, your mugs will be professionally coated and fired by the studio. Pieces will be ready for pickup in the following weeks. When they are ready, we’ll let you know!

Dates & Times

Of the dates listed, you may choose between the morning slot or the afternoon slot. Only one of these slots will be valid (you cannot do both slots on the same day). Time slots are limited to four participants maximum, due to our limited number of wheels.

Additional Guidelines & Important Information

Instruction language: Our instructor, Owen, is only able to instruct in English.

Arrival and departure: Participants may arrive up to 10 minutes before class begins, but must leave on time at the scheduled end of the session.

Outcome of pieces: Pottery has a mind of its own, and pieces may not turn out as expected. They may warp, crack, or break during kiln firings. The Gallery is not liable if this happens. Gallery attendants also reserve the right not to fire pieces that are deemed unsafe for the kiln.

Sign up online or in person at the Gallery. Purchase of the workshop confirms your registration and secures your spot.
