Glaze Your Own Test Tile Mug – Pottery Workshop

A Mindful and Creative Paint & Sip Experience in White Plains

Looking for a date night or a fun and casual night out? No experience necessary!  Bring your creativity and your friends for a different kind of paint & sip event. Glaze a gorgeous handmade ceramic mug in your choice of color and design!

Ready. Set. Glaze.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll get a chance to glaze your very own Test Tile Mug.  Choose from a variety of bisque-fired mugs, each one individually shaped. You'll then use your own aesthetic to design your mug using tape resist as a decorating method, in creating a bright and colorful mug. 

Feb 17th from 7-9pm
April 7th from 7-9pm

The Process:

• Choose from a selection of handmade mugs made out of brown stoneware - each one a little different
• Start designing your mug using crafting tape for glaze-resist and to block shapes and patterns
• Learn how to glaze the interior of your mug in clear food-safe studio-made glaze
• Choose from our wall of colors!- dozens of commercial glazes ready to paint
• Glaze your mug any which way, carefully painting on your glaze
• Add personalization to the bottom of your mug: a saying, a name, or a ready-made transfer image
• Wipe and clean off your mug so that it's ready for firing
• All materials, clay, and tools are included 
• This workshop will last 2 - 2 1/2 hours
• Your mugs will be fired and dishwasher safe for pick-up 4-6 weeks later.

A curated selection of wine, cheese, and nibbles will accompany your evening for a complete night out!

Our studio is small, and space is limited to a maximum of 12 guests (unless otherwise specified).

Parking is free and plentiful. Bathrooms are clean and across the hall. Please come dressed and ready to get your hands and maybe even your clothes a little dirty.

Please arrive on time so that we can start the project with enough time for completion. If guests arrive more than 30 minutes after the start time, they may be unable to finish their project. Ariella will do her best to accommodate for lateness and skill level, repairing work when she can to ensure the highest likelihood of survival through the kiln process.

Workshops & Family Clay Date cancellation and refund policy: 50% refund with written cancellation up to 1 week before the workshop. Cancellations received less than 1 week before will not be refunded. Rescheduling due to illness is permitted only once.

PLEASE NOTE: There are NO guarantees in pottery!

While working in clay is calming, pottery comes with many unknowns. Pottery is unpredictable and sometimes unforgiving. While Ariella will do her best to walk you through each step of the process, sometimes cracks and issues present themselves along the way. Either in the soft and malleable stage, or as the piece dries and hardens, and even into the bisqueware stage, clay moves and shifts. Even the best potters cannot predict the outcome, so please keep this in mind! Working in clay is meditative and gratifying; however, it is also humbling, as there are many factors out of our control.  This is the magic of ceramics- learning to let go and allowing for the process to guide you, and accepting that we are not always in control. This is the beauty of clay.  So enjoy the workshop, class, or private event, and remember that the experience IS the best part of pottery!  The final product is just the icing on the cake:).
