Slip & Glaze – Cast and Finish Your Own Ceramic Mug

Go beyond paint-your-own pottery and learn how ceramic mugs are actually made.

In this hands-on ceramics workshop, you’ll explore both sides of the process: slip casting and glazing. Participants will begin by learning how to cast a ceramic mug using liquid clay and plaster molds. While your freshly cast mug dries, you’ll also glaze a pre-fired mug that will be kiln-fired after class and ready for pickup.

This class is designed to give you a behind-the-scenes look at ceramic production while still letting you leave with a finished functional piece. Whether you’re completely new to ceramics or looking to expand your skills, this is a fun and approachable introduction to mold-based pottery techniques.

These mugs and other designs are produced here at Maker Cube through a 3D printing and slip casting process.

Safety First!

We’ll cover proper studio safety and handling procedures for ceramics materials and equipment throughout the workshop.
