Description
Day 1 April 12th - We will teach you how to hand-build mugs, attach handles, and add any texture or sculptural elements you like. After this class, the instructors will kiln fire the pieces to prepare for Day 2.
Day 2 April 26th - We will review glazes and how to best apply them to your pieces, then start glazing! After finishing, the pieces will go back into the kiln for their final firing and will be ready for pickup within a couple of weeks.
$35 including all materials and you go home with a new mug!
