Create a Holiday themed mug in this one-day workshop! Students will be shown how to build their mug out of slabs of clay and will be able to fully customize their creations with personalized images, designs, or textures. Once finished with building, students will paint their mugs with a variety of colorful glazes.
This class is for all ages, but participants 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. If you and your child would both like to create a mug, you must purchase one spot for each participant. ​

Instructed by Amy Smoot, this workshop will be held in Kentuck's Clay Studio at 2014 5th St. Students should wear clothes that they don't mind getting clay or glaze on.
