Welcome to our 2 day mug making workshop!
In this two day workshop you will create your own set of mugs. The first day will focus on basic wheel throwing skills to create the bodies of the mugs and the second day you will explore different ways and styles of applying handles to your forms, such as pulling handles off the form and shaping and applying separately. During the second day you will also briefly cover basic trimming and have the opportunity to apply surface decoration or textures/ carving to your mugs.
During the this 2 day workshop you will create four pieces of which you will save your favorite two mugs which will be glazed and fired. You will have the choice of six different glaze colors to choose from. You are welcome to save an additional two pieces for a maximum of four in total for an extra fee of $20 per mug.
At Gather we want you to immerse yourself in a relaxing atmosphere so we provide tea, coffee and light snacks with every workshop accompanied by relaxing music. Imagine throwing on the wheel at a spa, and you will have an idea of the environment we strive to create.
