Sculptural Mug Atelier (December)

Service Description

Workshop Details Instructor: Shandi Schedule: 3rd Saturday & 4th Sunday of every month / 2-day course / 2 sessions Saturday: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM Sunday: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM Class Size: 6 students Price: $175 per person Transform a simple mug into a one-of-a-kind work of functional art. Some mugs simply hold coffee. Others tell a story. In this two-day intermediate workshop, you'll combine wheel throwing with sculptural hand-building to create two expressive mugs entirely your own. You'll sketch, sculpt, and transform functional pottery into collectible ceramic artwork while enjoying a relaxed studio atmosphere with complimentary tea and freshly brewed coffee during both sessions. Day One – Throw & Design Third Saturday | 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM Throw two mugs on the pottery wheel before sketching and planning your sculptural designs as the clay reaches the perfect leather-hard stage. Day Two – Sculpt & Finish Fourth Sunday | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM Trim your mugs, add sculptural details, refine surfaces, and optionally underglaze your work. If you prefer a natural finish, the studio will complete your mugs with a beautiful clear glaze. What's Included Five hours of instruction over two workshop days. Clay for two sculptural mugs. Studio tools and materials. Sculptural instruction and design sketching. Optional underglazes. Clear glaze if preferred. Bisque and glaze firings. Complimentary tea and freshly brewed coffee. Finished mugs ready for pickup in approximately 2–4 weeks. Skill Level​ Intermediate. Prior wheel-throwing experience is required. Students should be comfortable throwing a basic mug independently. This workshop is not suitable for first-time wheel throwers. Please Note Most students complete their work during Sunday's session. If you need additional time, you'll be invited back during a scheduled studio work session to finish your piece before firing.
