DIY Marbled Mug Craft Box / Kit with Crystals

Learn how to make your own unique mug with this engaging craft box and originally designed instructions! You will discover an inspiring and unique way of building that perfect mug without using a pottery wheel.

You can choose between a craft box for two people which perfect if you're looking for date night ideas at home or a craft box for four people, amazing for holiday family fun.

An instruction sheet in the box will demonstrate how to make a unique texture pattern or a marble effect for your pottery piece. You will be supplied with sufficient materials to build your mug and to apply the amount of colourants to your wet piece, prior to firing.

The idea is to find an inspiration in nature’s beautiful patterns, therefore the kit is equipped with crystals and the matching colours. For those who like and appreciate the healing features of crystals, we recommend infusing the crystal towers in your drinks after the mug is finished.

Included in a craft box for two people is (creates two mugs and two small saucers):

• 1 kg of white (cream- coloured) clay
• Two paintbrushes
• Four tools (for cutting, scraping and modelling your mug)
• Four different colourants in four separate containers (4 x 5 grams) - ceramic stain, oxide and/or underglaze, depending on availability
• Two crystals ( for your inspiration, they will be sent depending on availability, promise they will be gorgeous :)
• Two half-moon ceramic sponges
• Two thin sheets to spread a slab on, to be able to peel off clay from your working bench
• Wire clay cutter
• An instruction sheet ( 4 pages) uniquely designed and created by your teacher on how to conquer this unique mug hand-building technique.

Everything in your craft box is wrapped nicely and separately, and labelled so that you know what everything is.

Craft box for four people includes doubled everything listed above except instructions and wire clay cutter

Customised colours and sizes are available, so please get in touch if you have any questions.

Please note: Everything made of ceramic must be fired in ceramic kilns. The colour that you see inside of the mug is a glaze. Glazing comes after the first firing and must be fired again. Firing is cheap and you will get the information on where to do it locally in your craft box.

You are welcome to attend Irina's glazing and firing class after this one, but together with this craft box, you will learn the basic rules on how to proceed with completing your mug.
