Throw, Return, Glaze: A Two‑Part Clay Mug Workshop in Indooroopilly.
Unleash your creativity in a focused two‑part workshop that walks you through throwing a functional mug on the potter’s wheel and, after studio processing, a second session to paint and glaze the piece—transforming raw clay into a usable object of craft.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Two distinct hands‑on sessions
A guided wheel‑throwing session teaches you to form a thrown mug; after the piece is prepared by the studio you return roughly 2–3 weeks later to paint and glaze your mug.
Make a mug with a handle
The class covers the techniques needed to create a thrown mug and to attach a handle, giving you a functional piece you can finish with your own decoration.
Short, focused studio visits
Each studio session is concise—the hands‑on class runs two hours—and the two‑part structure spaces creation and decoration to allow for drying and glazing.
What the day feels like
What the workshop feels like
You begin at the wheel with an instructor guiding centring, opening and pulling walls to shape a mug; the workshop emphasizes practical technique so by the end you’ll have a formed mug and a handle. After the studio prepares your piece, you return in roughly two to three weeks for a painting and glazing session that finishes the object for firing and final use.
