Join lovely Cumbria-based ceramicist Cath for an introduction into the world of hand-building with porcelain and make your own mug at this pottery class in the Lake District.
 
A special mug is an everyday pleasure and at this pottery class, you'll have the opportunity to make your own! Guided by your expert teacher, you'll produce a beautiful piece of practical ceramic artwork – something that you’ll love putting to good use.
 
This relaxed ceramics workshop is a wonderful way to learn to work with clay. You’ll use your teacher Cath’s favourite technique – hand building, using slabs of hand-rolled clay and imprinting techniques, to form a mug.
 
This pottery class in Keswick is aimed at complete beginners, but more experienced potters wanting to try a new technique are very welcome and will enjoy learning something new.
 
To build your mug you'll use porcelain clay, which has a fine texture and holds the texture of imprinted fabric, creating a finish that is intriguing and intricate. After glazing and firing your mug will be robust and water-tight.
 
At the end of your workshop, you’ll choose your glaze, and your work will be taken back to your teacher Cath’s home studio in the small village of Thursby, near Carlisle, where it will be expertly glazed and carefully fired. Your mug will then be returned to The Makers Mill ready for you to collect. If you prefer, there's the option for your work to be posted to you for an extra cost of £6 payable on the day of your class.

By the end of your pottery making experience, you'll have some new hand-building techniques under your belt, as well as a beautiful mug made by you to use every day.


What you'll get
  • Your mug to keep. This will be glazed and fired shortly after your class for you to collect. Alternatively, you can have your mug posted to you for a £6 fee, payable on the day of your class.
  • Tea and coffee.
Suitable for

This class is perfect for beginners - no prior experience is needed.

This class is great for a team building activity, birthday or hen do.
