Make a Mug Workshop

Learn how to hand build your very own mug!



2 hours Class size 6 to 16 guests       $90

In this engaging pottery class, you'll explore slab building techniques and surface decorating with stamps to craft your very own personalised ceramic mug.
Discover the joy of working with clay and bring your artistic vision to life in a supportive and welcoming environment. You'll be guided through each step of the process, from shaping the clay to adding your personal touch with stamps. Get ready to feel a sense of accomplishment as you witness your creation come to life in your hands.
Your handcrafted mug will be fired, glazed, sanded, and ready for collection from the café in 3–4 weeks — perfect for enjoying your favourite beverage at home!
Please note: Pottery is a mindful art—its slow drying and firing process invites you to pause, be present, and create with intention. We take great care in handling your pottery throughout the drying and firing process, but as with all things handmade, there is always an element of unpredictability. Pottery is a journey, and even the most seasoned potters sometimes experience unexpected results from the kiln!
While breakages are rare, they can happen, and we are unable to offer refunds for pieces that don’t make it through. However, we do have a small selection of studio-made pieces available as replacements should the unexpected occur. Once your piece has been collected, we are no longer responsible for any damages that may happen outside the studio.
What you'll get
  • Step-by-step guidance to craft your unique mug
  • Clay and all the materials you need to make 1 mug
Glazes are an additional $10 each. To finish of your masterpieces you can choose from a selection of beautiful shinos and clear glazes for your colour design.
After the workshop: Your vase will be carefully fired twice, sanded, and glazed. They will then be carefully transported back to the cafe for your collection 3-4 weeks from date of making.
If you would like to make 2 mugs, we have a 3-hour workshop available.

Hi, I’m Candice, the founder of Art Bud Studio — a joyful and inclusive creative space where everyone is encouraged to explore, play, and express themselves through art.
As a multidisciplinary artist, award-winning engineering educator, and accredited coach, I bring a unique blend of structured problem-solving and intuitive creativity to my workshops.
I believe that making art is not just about the final piece but about the journey — the mindfulness, the discovery, and the joy of creating with your hands. Whether it's painting, printmaking, or pottery, my approach is all about building confidence, fostering curiosity, and embracing the creative process, no matter your experience level.
At Art Bud, we collaborate with wonderful family-friendly cafés and community spaces to bring creativity into everyday life. I love seeing people of all ages connect through art, and I can’t wait to share this experience with you.
Come and create something special!
