Carve a Ceramic Cup Workshop

Spend a cosy evening in our studio, sipping tea and carving clay



2.5 hours Class size 2 to 8 guests    

  $115 (Afterpay available)

Learn how to utilise sgraffito to carve clay and create your own individual piece of functional artwork.
In this workshop, you will carve one handleless cup. We will go through painting the cups with an underglaze, sketching ideas and working on composition, and then transferring these ideas onto your clay pieces before learning to carve the clay to best achieve the mark making you desire.
After the workshop, we will fire your carved cup in a bisque firing, before then covering it in a clear glaze and putting it back in the kiln for its final glaze firing. You will then be able to collect your cup in a couple of weeks, microwave and dishwasher safe!
What you'll get
One pre-made cup (white or brown clay), one clay test tile to practice carving on, carving tools and brushes and paint for the cup.

I'm Grace and I am a multimedia artist based in South East Melbourne. I have been making and selling artwork since i was about 13 years old and have never really been able to settle on a specific medium - until ceramics. I started ceramics in 2021 with the intention of becoming the wheel thrower of my friend group - 'come to me if you need a new bowl!', however that hobby very quickly turned into my everyday and then as of early 2025 - my full time job. Although I started ceramics on a pottery wheel, i slowly moved my practice over to be more centred around handbuilding. I love the intuitive nature that comes with handbuilding and i find it compliment's illustrative glazing really nicely. My decade of oil painting, realism graphite drawing and fineline illustration has come to heavily influence how i approach making my ceramic pieces, and I love sharing how to pull from other art practices to collaborate with clay to create a one of a kind piece of functional artwork.
