Unit price per

Treat your mum or mother figure in your life to a special day out at Throwing Shapes this Mother’s Day. Create a matching handmade mugs together using hand-building techniques, guided by our expert teacher Lily. 

This workshop focuses on making two mugs as a set, with an emphasis on proportion, balance, and personal touches that tie the pieces together. You’ll be guided through shaping your mugs using hand-building techniques, with support at every stage - from forming the body to refining handles and details - allowing you to work at a relaxed, unhurried pace.

Once your forms are complete, you’ll decorate your mugs using underglaze, adding colour, pattern, or subtle surface detail to make each piece unique while still feeling connected as a pair. The session is designed to be calm and collaborative, with plenty of time to chat, make, and enjoy the process together. No previous experience is needed.

The workshop takes place in our welcoming studio environment, with tea and coffee included so you can pause, warm your hands, and enjoy the moment.

Each ticket includes a place for two people - €50 per person.
Level 0 | Beginners Welcome

No prior experience is necessary. This class is a great starting point for anyone curious about working with clay or looking to try ceramics in a supportive setting for the first time.
