Marvellous Mugs: Creating in Clay & Surface Decoration with Carys Martin

As part of the RQAS Workshop Festival, ceramic artist Carys Martin invites participants to slow down, get hands-on, and explore the joy of decorating functional ceramics in this popular Marvellous Mugs workshop.  

This relaxed and welcoming session focuses on surface decoration and personal expression. Participants will each receive a leather-hard, wheel-thrown mug form to work upon, allowing them to concentrate fully on texture, pattern, and design without the pressure of throwing the form themselves. They will be guided through a range of decorative techniques including carving, mark-making, applied elements, and subtle use of colour to create a mug that feels uniquely theirs. Once complete, pieces will be fired and glazed by the studio and ready for collection a few weeks later.  

Ideal for anyone curious about ceramic surface decoration, art lovers eager to try something new during the RQAS Workshop Festival, those who appreciate handmade everyday objects, and participants ranging from complete beginners to experienced makers, this workshop offers an inviting and creative experience.  

All materials, tools, firings, and glazing are included in the ticket price.  

Location: Offsite at Carys Martin Ceramics - Unit 11, 7-9 Grant St, Cleveland
