Get creative this winter with our beginner-friendly pottery workshop in Bath, where you'll learn the basics of handbuilding and create your own handbuilt ceramic mug inspired by the nostalgia of making paper snowflakes at Christmas.
Held at The Cub, this festive pottery class combines traditional paper snowflake designs with ceramics. You'll use paper snowflake templates and coloured slips to create a unique pattern on your mug, transforming a childhood Christmas craft into a beautiful, functional piece of pottery designed to last for years.
No previous pottery experience is needed. We'll guide you through the essentials of handbuilding, shaping, joining, and decorating clay, making this a relaxed and accessible introduction to ceramics.
It's a lovely Christmas activity in Bath, whether you're looking for a creative winter date idea, something to do with friends, a festive day out, or simply a chance to slow down and make something with your hands.
Your finished mug will be glazed and kiln-fired by us, ready to collect once it's been fired.

Pottymouth started with two ceramicists, a couple of wheels in the back of our cars, and a mission to make pottery more accessible—and a lot more fun.
​We’re Naomi Stokes and Meredith Mason. We met in a shared pottery studio in Bristol, having both spent years developing our practices in clay. Naomi studied Fine Art at UWE and has a background in throwing functional, wheel-thrown vessels—mugs, bowls, jugs—the kind of things you live with every day. Meredith studied Artist Designer:Maker at Cardiff Met and works more sculpturally, often experimenting with surface textures and forms that push the boundaries of traditional ceramics.
​We each had about ten years of making behind us, and a shared history of working in pubs and cafes while studying. That overlap between hospitality and craft got us thinking: what if we brought the relaxed, sociable feel of the pub into the world of pottery? Not everyone feels comfortable walking into a traditional ceramics studio—but most people feel at home with a pint in hand.
​So we started running workshops in some of our favourite Bristol pubs, hauling bags of clay and boxes of tools into beer gardens and back rooms. We wanted to strip away the formality and make space for play. People loved it—and we did too.
Two years in, we found our dream studio space at Windmill Hill City Farm and began offering longer courses alongside our classic pub nights. Now, three years strong, Pottymouth has grown into a small but thriving team. We still run regular pub workshops across Bristol, Bath and the South West, and our studio now hosts handbuilding and wheel-throwing courses for all levels.
​At heart, we’re still doing what we set out to do: sharing our love of clay, making people feel welcome, and keeping things down to earth.
