Soup Mug, Stoneware Hand Building Workshop

The Ceramic Studio Etc 4132 E Grand River Ave, Howell, MI, United States

Come make this short, wide mug design, perfect for your favorite hot beverage, soup or chili! This project will use Stoneware clay slabs to hand-build the mug (this is not a wheel throwing class). Stoneware is dishwasher and microwave safe and great for pieces that need to withstand weather too. We’re excited to be offering this higher quality clay choice. You will wet glaze small details on your mug like buttons, and then choose one of our dip glaze colors for the final touch. Your piece will be dried, bisque fired and then dip glazed by studio staff before it's final glaze firing.
We anticipate this workshop will take 90 min to 2 hours and your mug should fit on the form we offer during class, and be no more than 2lbs. The total project cost is $45, your ticket price holds you seat and the balance of the project will be paid for at the class. If you've created with us before and wish to build a larger piece or something different on your own, you may purchase clay by the pound if your piece exceeds the expected amount of clay we use for the mugs.
