BYO Travel Mug Pottery Class

Learn pottery techniques and design a unique, functional piece you’ll actually use at this Bristol pottery class.



2 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £36

Discover the craft of ceramics in this guided travel mug-making workshop in Bristol, designed for both beginners and those with some experience working with clay. In this session, you’ll learn foundational pottery techniques while shaping your own functional and uniquely designed travel mug, with plenty of room to explore form and personal style.
After forming your mug, you’ll decorate it using a selection of coloured underglazes to enhance its surface and create a distinctive finish. Your piece will then be left to dry before being bisque fired, glazed, and fired again, ensuring it is durable, dishwasher safe, and suitable for everyday use.
This workshop offers a relaxed yet focused environment, ideal for individuals or groups looking to engage creatively and produce a practical, handcrafted object. Leave with a deeper appreciation for the ceramic process—and a travel mug made entirely by you.
Can't collect immediately? Don't worry – your creations will be kept at the studio for up to 6 weeks after they’re ready for collection.

Recent reviews of BYO Travel Mug Pottery Class

  • 5/5 from Simone Braithwaite, attended Aug 2026: I bought this for my daughter as a gift so we could enjoy a mum and daughter afternoon. We enjoyed the experience and it was easier than I thought it would be. The tutor explains each procedure and demonstrates too. It’s a relaxed atmosphere and the time flew by. Would definitely do it again I’m looking forward to picking up my travel mug and seeing the final result.
  • 5/5 from Rachel McAdam, attended May 2026: This class was fun and fairly easy to do, the teacher gave good instructions and was patient and gave extra help and advice where needed. Haven't got the final product yet but we've looked at doing another class with a different product already
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Selman, attended May 2026: Lovely class, the teacher was very good at explaining the different steps and we had fun creating our mugs. Can't wait to collect them in a few weeks!!
  • 5/5 from Lois Shanks, attended Apr 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed this hand building ceramics class of a travel mug. Jess was lovely really friendly she explained each step in detail with her own demonstration. Would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Katie Stoker, attended Feb 2026: Another incredible class with Jess! She taught us step by step how to make the mug, giving the right balance of helpful guidance and freedom to make our mugs unique. A small class meant it was relaxed and just a wonderfully creative way to spend the evening. I can't wait to see how it turns out after going in the kiln

Hello! I'm Jess from Jess Made This Mess and I offer a wide variety of ceramic workshops at Wild Clay Studios! My workshops are intended to be a safe and creative space that encourage people to try something new using hand building techniques such as slab building, coiling and pinching. I aim to make pottery accessible to everyone and anyone that wants to give it a go! You don't need all the bells and whistles to make a gorgeous pot, and thats the brilliant thing about pottery.
