Mug-making workshop

There’s something particularly satisfying about drinking your morning coffee from a mug you made yourself. At Clay Hands in Woodstock, start with a lump of clay and learn how to shape, build and decorate your very own ceramic mug by hand. No pottery wheel and no previous experience required — just a willingness to get your hands dirty. Add a handle, carve in a pattern or embrace the wonkiness and make something completely your own. A wonderfully slow, tactile few hours away from screens.

BEFORE YOU GO
This is a beginner-friendly hand-building workshop, so no pottery experience is needed. Clay, tools and guidance are provided, and your piece is fired after the workshop rather than taken home on the day. Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy. Workshops take place on selected dates and spaces are limited, so book in advance. Check the current workshop listing for firing, glazing and collection details.
