Time to fire!

Time to Fire

We will fire your mug twice, making it shinny, brighter and food safe!


In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of slab building and, using your hands and our clay tools, create your very own mug from scratch. Choose the shape and style you want to make from our templates, then build your mug piece by piece before adding your own decorations, colours, and personal touches!
Once you’ve finished creating, we’ll take care of the glazing and firing, so your handmade mug will be ready to collect once it’s been baked in the kiln, not once, but twice!
Your workshop ticket includes:
  • All the clay and materials you need
  • Guidance through the slab-building process
  • Your choice of mug shape
  • Time to decorate and personalise your mug
  • Glazing and firing
No previous pottery experience needed; just come ready to get your hands slightly dirty and make something you’ll actually want to use! Come with your besties or come solo and make some new connections!
Please note: Your mug will need to be left with us for glazing and firing and will be ready to collect within 2–3 weeks. If you can’t collect it, we can post it back to you for £10 (UK addresses only; international postage will cost more).
More Info:
  • Food & drink: Our on-site coffee bar will be serving all your favourite drinks and pastries, and the best part? It’s completely vegan. (We kindly ask that you don’t bring outside food or drinks to the workshop.)
  • A Safe Space: We encourage solo visitors and create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere with everyone seated around one large table. Our pottery painting café is fully accessible, with a disabled toilet and baby changing area. We also offer free organic period care, as we believe in providing essential products without extra cost. Our staff are here to help you with anything you need, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all.

Established in the lockdown of 2021, Carb Club was created through a love affair of pottery cafes, boredom and endlessly applying for jobs. After creating the very first Pasta Party leopard print pasta bowl and posting it online, I had a huge response asking me where I bought it. Once I told everyone I made it, everyone was very keen for me to sell them! And from there, Carb Club blossomed!
Why Carb Club I hear you ask, well, I love carbs (including pasta), so I thought why not celebrate them! What started as a few pasta bowls selling out in just 17 minutes, Carb Club now offers a range of products, including vases, mugs, cereal bowls and coasters! Excitingly, you’re now able to add
a personalised touch to our custom bowls!
