Create a mug that’s truly your own in this relaxing hand-building workshop in Hawthorn East. You’ll learn essential clay techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab building to shape your mug from scratch in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Never tried hand-building before? No problem! This pottery class is completely beginner-friendly and your friendly tutor will guide you step-by-step, so you can build confidence at your own pace.
What to expect:
  • Settle in and start exploring easy hand-building techniques.
  • Start forming the body of the mug, attaching handles and refining the shape.
  • Make it truly your own and add personal details like textures, stamps, or carved patterns.
  • Enjoy a small-class workshop to ensure you get plenty of one-on-one support, making it perfect for anyone who wants a calm, creative escape.
  • Once finished, we’ll take care of the firing and glazing for you, so your piece will be food-safe and ready for everyday use.
No experience needed -- just bring your ideas, enjoy the cosy studio atmosphere (and cuddle our friendly studio cats!), and sip a warm drink while you craft a mug you’ll love using at home.
What you'll get
Your finished mug will be ready for pick-up 4–6 weeks after firing.

Hi, I’m Nathan – the founder of Blueming Studio, a cosy little pottery space tucked away in Camberwell. With a background in architecture and a deep love for handmade crafts, I created this studio to share the joy of slowing down and creating with your hands.
At Blueming, we believe pottery isn’t just about making something beautiful – it’s about the process, the play, and the little surprises along the way. Whether you’re painting your own mug, learning to throw on the wheel, or carving while sipping a drink, our workshops are designed to be beginner-friendly, relaxing, and fun.
Come get your hands dirty, meet our two curious studio cats, and leave with something truly your own. I can’t wait to create with you!
