Workshop Details

Join us on a journey into the icy realms of Antarctica as we craft the cutest mug you've ever held—the Penguin Mug! 

No matter your skill level, we will guide you through the art of clay hand-building as you mold and shape the clay into a mug. Then, add in the penguin details, and the sturdy handle to make it unique to you! This workshop is perfect for beginners.

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1 hour of building and an extra 30 minutes for smoothing, if needed. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least 14 days after your build date. We recommend booking 1 hour, depending on the amount of detail :)

3. Pickup: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 21 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pickup. We hold art for 90 days.

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay. 

"In every handmade piece, there's a little piece of the artist's heart."
