Private Pinch Pot Mug Workshop
Gather your favorite people and enjoy the studio all to yourselves for a private Pinch Pot Mug Workshop at Lovelight Handmade!
During this beginner-friendly pottery class, you and your guests will learn how to build a ceramic mug completely by hand using the pinch pot technique, then design and attach your own handle.
Keep it simple and organic or make it completely your own with textures, stamps, and hand-painted details. Once your mug is finished, you'll select a glaze from our studio glaze library and we'll take care of glazing and firing it for you.
No pottery experience necessary — we'll guide your group through the entire process!
Private workshops are perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, team outings, family gatherings, date nights, or simply getting a group of friends together to make something by hand.
