Description

Eight Saturday afternoons. One cosy studio. Six cups in your hands by the end.

This winter, we’re doing things differently.

Our beginner hand building course still teaches you all the fundamentals — but we’re learning them by making drinking vessels. Cup by cup, technique by technique.

Over eight Saturday afternoons (2pm–4.30pm), you’ll make:

  • Pinch pot cups with a handle and foot

  • Soft slab mugs with a handle

  • Soft slab cups with darted feet

  • Tea bowls

  • Continuous coil rolling cups — no join, no seam

  • And more, using a range of pinching techniques plus Nina’s expert slab methods

You’ll finish with a collection of hand built, decorated, glazed cups — all yours to keep and drink from.

And because it’s winter: our studio now has new heaters. It’s cosy, warm, and waiting for you on Saturday afternoons.

Bonus: Kate will also demo her monoprinting techniques — so your slab drinking vessels won’t just be well made. They’ll be uniquely, beautifully yours.
