What to expect
You'll arrive at the professional ceramics studio and be given an apron and ceramic tools. The session starts with a brief introduction to hand-building techniques, then you'll work with clay to shape your cup, guided by the instructor. Midway through, you'll learn glazing and decoration methods and apply your chosen finish.
Once your cup is ready, it goes into the kiln and is fired during the session. The workshop wraps up with your finished, fired ceramic cup ready to take home. The whole process is informal — questions and experimentation are encouraged, and the studio has WiFi if you need it.
