This is a fun activity in Bridgeton, Glasgow
Learn how to hand-build your own unique ceramic reindeer mug from clay in this engaging and friendly workshop.
This hands-on activity is perfectly suited for individuals new to ceramics, but those with previous clay experience are also very welcome to practise their skills. Over the course of the day, your expert instructor will guide you through the enjoyable process of creating a beautiful vessel from scratch.
During the class, you will learn:
- how to prepare your clay and get comfortable with its properties
- using slab building and sculpting techniques to build your mugs form
- methods for securely joining clay sections
- tips for painting your reindeer design with underglaze
All clay, tools, and necessary equipment are provided.
After the workshop, your instructor will handle the finishing touches, applying a neutral glaze and firing your creation. One piece per person will be fired, with any extra pieces able to be fired for an additional fee. Your finished mug will be ready to collect in approximately 6-8 weeks, or it can be posted to a UK address for an additional charge.
Please note: I will provide tea/coffee and biscuits during this workshop. You will be required to supply your own lunch.
You’ll leave this session with the pride of having learned a new craft, ready to collect a beautiful, functional mug that is entirely your own creation.
