Recent reviews of Hand Built Ceramic Mug Course
- 5/5 from Amanda Siska, attended Sep 2024: This was an excellent workshop for me, as someone who’s always wanted to make a mug but found wheel throwing really intimidating. This was fun, engaging, but not too hard at all! Great workspace, and wonderful instructors. All materials provided, and not too messy either.
- 5/5 from Larissa Birndorf, attended May 2024: Both Lauren and Rachel are phenomenal teachers - they are very patient and walked us through the whole process step-by-step. I had no prior experience and am not a naturally artistic person but I was able to successfully build and paint a ceramic vase that I will proudly put on display all thanks to Lauren and Rachel. I highly recommend this class!
- 5/5 from Olivia Norton, attended May 2024: Great class! Very fun, and the teachers were encouraging, positive, and helpful. I'm excited about the finished vase!
Your teacher
I’m Lauren, a Portland, OR-based artist working primarily in clay. I took my first pottery class in 2018 during my graduate program in applied physics. I used to joke that I felt more like an engineer in the pottery studio than at my job as an actual engineer - I loved working with my hands, and designing new work, from ideation to troubleshooting to the final product.All of my work is slab-built, a hand-building technique that does not require a wheel, and instead starts with slabs of clay that are cut, folded, and formed to create different shapes. These functional forms, like mugs and vases, then serve as a canvas for adding hand-painted patterns and illustrations.
