Beginners Ceramic Hand Building Mug Workshops
Learn how to make a ceramic mug with Studio Yōki!
Discover how to hand-build your own ceramic mug in this engaging workshop. Over two and a half hours, I’ll guide you through the enjoyable process of creating a unique vessel from clay.
In this hands-on activity, I will demonstrate essential techniques and provide support as you learn:
- Getting comfortable with clay properties and preparation.
- Using pinching and coiling techniques to build your mug form.
- Methods for securely joining clay sections and achieving a smooth surface.
- Tips for shaping and refining your unique mug design.
This workshop is perfectly suited for individuals new to ceramics who want to learn the basics. However, those with previous clay experience looking to practise their hand-building skills are also very welcome. All clay, tools, and necessary equipment for the activity are provided. We will start with a practice ball of clay to get a feel for the material before beginning our mugs.
After the workshop, I will handle the finishing touches for you – applying my neutral glaze and firing your creation.
