Pottery Decorating Class: Paint Your Own Ceramic Mug

Create a handmade mug with your own unique design - made to be used!

In this workshop, guests paint pre-made stoneware mugs, produced in our studio, using underglazes and ceramic stains suited for fine illustration.

The focus is on thoughtful, hand-painted design rather than quick decoration. Participants work with brushes and ceramic pigments to develop their own imagery, guided by the workshop artists — all practising, classically trained makers.

All designs shown are original artworks by the workshop artists. Each mug is unique — no two pieces are ever the same.

• Paint directly onto functional stoneware mugs
• Use underglazes and ceramic stains designed for detailed surface work
• Develop original illustrations and motifs

Clear glazing and kiln firing are included in the price. Please note: Finished pieces require time to be glazed and fired, with collection approximately 4 weeks after the workshop.

This experience is suited to adults seeking a calm, focused and creative process, with room for both guidance and independence.
