Because your morning coffee tastes better from something you made yourself.

In this 2-hour Shape & Fun ceramics event, you’ll create your very own hand-built ceramic cup — from a soft block of clay to a fully functional mug, tumbler, or teacup (bravery determines size, no pressure).

With the help of our instructor, you’ll learn the basics of shaping, smoothing, and personalising your cup — all in a relaxed, supportive environment. Whether you go for sleek and modern or charmingly wobbly, it’s all about making something uniquely yours.

Not sure where to start? Don’t worry — we’ve got examples to spark ideas, and plenty of guidance to help bring your cup to life.

🎨 Want to decorate it later? You’ll get a discount to join one of our painting sessions and add colour and flair to your handmade creation.
🔥 After the event, we’ll glaze and fire your cup. It’ll be ready for pickup in about 3–4 weeks.

Perfect for absolute beginners, curious creatives, and anyone who’s ever thought:
“I’d love to make something I can actually use.”
