Sweet, soft, and perfectly imperfect — this workshop is all about shaping clay into something you’ll actually use and adore. Inspired by classic candy hearts, you’ll handbuild your own heart-shaped mug (or a cozy round mug with candy-heart style messaging) using simple slab and coil techniques.

All levels welcome, beginners encouraged.

What You’ll Do:

• Handbuild a heart-shaped or candy-heart inspired mug
• Learn slab + coil fundamentals
• Add color, stamping, or lettering
• Create a keepsake you’ll treasure
