In this Hands-On Holds session, you’ll start with a hand-thrown tumbler by Airr Made Ceramics and sculpt your own climbing holds to attach to it—creating a functional piece inspired by your love for the sport.
Our expert instructors will guide you through:
  • Pinching and Slab Techniques – Learn how to craft climbing-inspired holds from clay
  • Attachment Methods – Secure your holds to the mug using handbuilding techniques
  • Personalisation – Paint and customise your piece to reflect your climbing style
  • Your finished piece will be ready to pick up 6 weeks from the workshop date.
Whether you're a seasoned climber or new to the sport, this workshop is a fun way to bring your passion to life—one hold at a time. Come get creative, connect with fellow climbers and craft a mug that’s as unique as your grip!

  • ONE fired & glazed piece is available with the ticket price, additional pieces are available for $10 and postage options are available (cost calculated depending on location and number of pieces).
