Cutting from your clay slab

Cutting from Your Clay Slab

Using spacers we roll out the clay. We cut it using the cutters before letting our imagination run wild adding sprigs, additions and pressing rollers and shapes into the clay to make our dream mug.

Join this clay hand-building course in Basingstoke and create your very own dream mug, using the slab hand-building technique from start to finish.
You'll begin by rolling out your clay slab with spacers, then cut it to shape using cutters before letting your imagination run free – adding sprigs, pressing rollers and shapes into the clay to build up your one-of-a-kind mug. With the leftover scraps, you'll also shape a matching coaster to complete your set.
Once your pieces have been dried and bisque fired, you'll return to paint them using stoneware glazes for beautifully breathtaking, food-safe results – ready to use and treasure at home, or give as a truly handmade gift.
Please note: your mug and coaster will need around four weeks to dry and be bisque fired before your second, included visit to glaze and paint them – this can take place back at the studio, or at home with a kit put together especially for you.
What you'll get
Your amazing finished artwork when it is all glazed and fired.
