Dots and striped cups - Sun 18 Oct 2026

Pottery Cup Making Workshop

Create your own unique cup(s) in this relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop.

You'll make a hand-built cup with a handle or a couple of 'V' cups without. Then hand paint or carve your piece(s) with details to make them truly personal. Dots and stripes are the theme!

After the workshop, your pieces will be bisque fired, professionally glazed with a clear glaze, and fired again. Your finished breakfast set will be ready to collect from the venue approximately three weeks later.

Please note: Images shown are examples of previous students' work. While your tutor will guide you through each step of the process, every piece will be unique. Variations in clay, texture, and glaze finish are part of the charm of handmade ceramics.
