Visit a pottery studio in NYC and learn how to make a mug.
Are you looking for cute date ideas or fun things to do in New York City? Check out this beginners' pottery class, where you'll learn how to hand-build your own mug.
With step-by-step guidance from a professional artist, you will use templates and slabs (flattened clay) to make a mug with a handle. This is a hand-building pottery class, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the tranquil feeling of sinking your hands into cool, squishy clay.
Nothing beats drinking your coffee or tea in the morning from a handmade mug, and it's even better when you've made it yourself! Your completed mug will be glazed, and you can pick it up from the pottery studio one week later.
Please note works are kept for a maximum of three weeks from the date of your class.

What to bring
Note:
We are excited to share the joy of clay with you! Please note that when you book a class with us, you are paying for the instructional experience, studio time, materials, and the guidance of our instructors, rather than a guaranteed finished product.
Ceramics is an unpredictable art form that goes through many stages—from shaping and drying to complex bisque and glaze firings. While we do our very best to guide your pieces safely through the kiln, ceramics can occasionally crack, warp, or break during the firing process due to natural physical properties.
Complimentary Firing: As a complimentary part of the class experience, we include the firing and glazing for one piece per person (selected by you at the end of the session).
No Guarantees: Because of the inherent risks involved in firing pottery, finished pieces are not guaranteed, and studio fees are non-refundable in the rare event that a piece is damaged during the firing process.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to getting our hands dirty with the creative process together!
