Cozy up at the studio this holiday season and craft your very own Christmas-themed mug — perfect for gifting or sipping something warm by the fire. In this limited-time workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of pinch handbuilding while creating your own Christmas-themed mug. Perfect for beginners, this 2-hour session guides you through shaping, decorating, and painting your mug — all by hand.

Each participant will make one mug, with the freedom to design it in their own way. Choose from a selection of festive cutouts, or create your own custom decorations. The photos shown are studio samples for inspiration — your mug will be uniquely yours.

This workshop is great for gifting or spending time with friends and family during the holidays.

Last Workshop Date: December 7th, to ensure all pieces are glazed and fired in time for Christmas pickup

Pottery is a delicate process, and sometimes pieces may crack or break during drying or firing. This can happen for many reasons—like air bubbles forming while you pulled up the clay, not enough compression at the base, drying too quickly due to weather, or issues during kiln firing. While we do our best to prevent this and it doesn’t happen often, we can’t guarantee that every piece will survive the full process 100% of the time. It’s all part of the pottery journey—and at Clayground, we embrace the wabi-sabi mindset: perfectly imperfect.
