Join Sarah for a cozy, beginner-friendly workshop where you’ll create your very own pinch pot mugs and vessels. Using just your hands, some clay, and your creativity, you’ll learn the basics of hand-building and shaping clay. You can focus on one or more pieces, however productive you may feel. Students will have the option to decorate their pieces with underglazes, adding personal touches. Feeling playful? You’ll also have the option to add a tiny clay “friend” inside your mug- a cat, frog, ghost, or whatever brings you joy!

After the workshop, your pots will be carefully fired in our kiln and glazed with a clear glaze. Pick up your finished pieces after it's been fired and glazed, ready to be utilized for all your morning coffee and midnight snacks.

Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience with clay, this workshop is designed to guide you step by step through the process of creating your own personalized pieces.
