Sculptural Mug-Making Workshop with Julie Elkins of Gap Tooth Studios

DATE: 7/15/2025
TIME: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Explore the art of handbuilding with Julie Elkins of Gap Tooth Studios in this beginner-friendly ceramics class where you’ll create a one-of-a-kind sculptural mug or tumbler. In a 1.5-hour session, you’ll learn how to build a basic cylinder and then transform it into a unique work of art with your own sculptural details.

This class is designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners to experienced artists looking to try something new. With a relaxed, supportive atmosphere and guidance from a professional artist and instructor with over 20 years of experience, you’re sure to have a great time exploring your creativity. Julie will ensure you feel confident and inspired every step of the way.

After class, we will bisque fire and glaze your mug in clear so it's food-safe and functional. 

Want to add your own color? You’ll have the option to sign up for a follow-up Color & Glaze Session where you can paint your mug with underglaze and choose your final glaze finish.

Check-in takes place in the house

Let’s create something amazing together!
