Join ceramicist Naomi Stokes and Meredith Mason at the Cadbury pub in Montpelier as they guide you step-by-step through the process of making your own hand built ceramic mug.
You don't need to have any previous experience as everything will be fully covered on the day, but a steady hand and an eye for detail never goes amiss. You will be shown a demonstration of some of the fundamental slab building techniques including how to roll a slab, slip and scoring, as well as finishing and decorating techniques.
After the initial demonstration, spend the duration of the workshop piecing together your lovely mugs, practicing the core basics of hand-built ceramics as you go. Once formed, you can spend any remaining time decorating your piece with coloured slips or creating impressions with tools. This is a chance to really personalise your piece and express your creativity!
Your finished item will be left with your hosts who will fire and glaze your work. Mugs will be ready for collection 3-5 weeks after.

This was my first pottymouth workshop and I loved it so much I immediately signed up for one the following week. The mugs make a great souvenir or personalised birthday present!
i booked after seeing an ad on instagram and had such a lush time ! the ladies running the workshop were lovely and very helpful - will definitely be keeping an eye out for future workshops :)
This is the second booking I’ve made with PottyMouth and the hosts Meredith and Naomi are brilliant. Sessions are laid back and friendly and they help loads. A fantastic class if you’ve never made anything from clay before. I loved that within 2 hours I had a really cool, usable mug that is taken to be fired. I would really recommend this class
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience that was a gift for me on Fathers day. It was an intimate group with individual tutorage that walked through the full process of making a mug. I loved the location at the Cadbury and took advantage of a cheeky pint and a meal. The event even included a drink which was great. Naomi and Meredith were fantastic hosts that I would have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you and go ahead and try it out :)
