Mug Hand Building Class | Houston Pottery Studio

Design and build your own one-of-a-kind mug, tumbler, or travel mug in our beginner-friendly hand building pottery class in Houston. Using the slab-building technique, you'll shape your piece from a flat slab of clay, then learn how to craft a comfortable, sturdy handle and add simple surface details like texture, carving, or stamped designs. No pottery wheel and no experience needed — our instructors guide you through every step at Blue Dog Ceramics, our Spring Street studio in the Heights/Washington Ave area.

Once your mug is complete, we handle the glazing and firing to make it food-safe, dishwasher-safe, and ready for daily use. Pieces are typically ready for pickup within a few weeks of your class.

This hand building class is a great fit for pottery beginners, date nights, birthdays, and anyone looking for a relaxing, hands-on creative experience in Houston. Walk away with a handmade piece you'll use — and love — every day.
