Honolulu Hand-Building Ceramic Mug Workshop

In our hand-building ceramic class, you’ll learn how to shape a simple block of clay into a functional, beautiful coffee mug/chai cup—an object you’ll actually use and treasure. The process is both relaxing and rewarding: from forming the mug’s body, to attaching the handle, to adding your own textures and personal touches. It’s a tactile, expressive journey that requires no prior experience—just curiosity and a willingness to try. The workshop is led by a friendly and experienced ceramic artist who will guide you every step of the way in a warm, supportive environment. Whether you're a visitor wanting a meaningful souvenir from Hawaii or a local looking for a new creative outlet, this class offers the perfect opportunity. Your cup/mug will then be fired and glazed for you. We’ll notify you when your piece is ready to be picked up. You can choose to take it yourself or have it shipped for an additional cost after the session. Come discover the joy of making something truly your own.
