Make your own mug using the Hand building technique that allows you to create forms with clay and your hands, without using a wheel.
This is a great bonding activity for couples, friends and family vs. our wheel-throwing class because wheel is a bit more challenging and requires more focus. It's also great if you'd like to continue afterwards as it doesn't require buying expensive tools like a potter's wheel.

FAQ:
What is the difference of hand building class with mug-making class?
In hand building class, you are not limited in just making mugs and you can make 2-3 pieces. In the mug-making class, you'll be able to make 1 mug only.
Are there fixed schedules? Or can I book another date?
If you have a specific date in mind (like your anniversary), please let us know. We open slots every week, but we'll try our best to accommodate your preferred date.
Can we bring our final outcomes home?
We will need to fire your pieces first before you are able to use them, the firing process will involve multiple stages like drying, and firing it twice which can take around 4-6 weeks. We will inform you when your works are ready for pick up.
Clay is unlimited during this session. So don't worry if you make a mistake, we can always provide more clay. At the end of the session, you are to pick 3 pieces you'd like us to fire for you and take home.
Can I bring food or drinks?
Yes you can bring food or drinks. You can even order from the dozens of restaurants around the Cubao Expo compound, and it will be delivered to you during your pottery session. Please give us a heads up so the teacher is informed :)
Can I bring pets?
Yes of course. Our founder (Ashe) is actually a gray tabby cat. We love pets! Please bring your pets :) We also assume that you will be responsible for them and will not disrupt any other ongoing classes in the other classrooms.
If we miss the class, can we refund?

But we know things can go wrong, especially during covid times. If you feel fuzzy, please help us out by letting us know in advance so that we can recalibrate. We will be happy to give you 1 reschedule.
