Special Project Classes
Monster of a Cup
Craft your very own monster cup! This event is open to ages 13 and up—teens and adults are welcome.
At Amused Studios, you'll start with a pre-made leather-hard cup in your choice of shape: a skull, Frankenstein, or a pumpkin. Alternatively, you can design your own unique monster using any of these base shapes.
You also have the option to make a second monster cup for an additional $15. This includes a new shape of your choice and an extra hour for sculpting.
During the workshop, you’ll shape and refine your monster cup under the guidance of our instructor. Afterward, the pottery will be glazed with food-safe colors chosen by you, and will be ready for pickup in about 2-3 weeks.
Students are encouraged to use all time allotted to complete and refine their sculptures.
Choose the date that works for you, dates available below.
If you choose 1 extra cup to sculpt please add in notes what shape you would like to start with.
Pick-a-pot Raku
Raku is a fast firing where the piece is heated up in the kiln after decorated and then pulled out of the hot kiln and set on fire. The carbon creates unique marks on each piece.
Pick a premade vase made by Amused Studios and choose how to decorate it. We have a variety of low fire Raku -glazes that react with the fire and create unusual effects making each pot different. You can also try the horse hair and or feather technique as well. pots can also be purchased the day of the Raku for $25 each- ordering ahead help us have enough ready for the class.
Also, If you want to raku work you make you can take classes with us at least- 2 weeks in advance.
