What will I make?
You’ll hand-build one matcha mug using beginner-friendly clay techniques. It’s a mindful, hands-on experience where you can personalise your mug’s shape, texture and finish.
Do I get to take my mug home on the day?
Not quite! Your piece will be dried, fired and glazed in a beautiful speckled satin finish at our Fremantle studio. This process takes about 6–8 weeks, and you’ll receive a collection notice when it’s ready.

What if my piece breaks during firing?
While we take the greatest care with every piece, pottery can be unpredictable and occasional breakages do happen inside the kiln. It’s a rare part of the process but completely normal in ceramics - it’s all part of the handmade charm!
