Holiday Cocoa Mug Workshop - December 6

Warm up your creativity this season with a festive introduction to working with clay! In this 3-hour handbuilding workshop, you will learn how to build your very own Cocoa Mug using basic handbuilding techniques — no prior clay experience needed.

Students will be guided through shaping the clay slab to forming a handle. There will be demonstrations on a variety of simple decorating methods that can be used to personalize your mug — think textures, hand-drawn patterns, or even a name tag for your favorite winter drinker.

Once the workshop concludes, our studio staff will finish processing the wares to ensure your mug fully functional and food-safe. Your handmade masterpiece will be ready for sipping hot cocoa, tea, or coffee — just in time for chilly winter evenings.

Come solo or bring a friend — it’s the perfect seasonal activity to get your hands messy, make something useful, and leave with a mug full of memories.

This is an All-Levels Workshop. All skill levels are welcome, no prior clay experience required.

Minors (ages 10+) are permitted if they are accompanied by an adult.
