Make a Patterned Mug Workshop
About
Build a mug from clay slabs, then decorate its surface with stamps, carved texture and repeating patterns. The Sunday session runs 1–4:30pm at Potterings on Harbor Ave SW in West Seattle (Water Taxi to Seacrest Park plus the Metro 775 shuttle), for up to six people at $55. Later in the season the studio has a luminary holiday tree workshop on 21 November.

How it compares
- Weekend
At $55, this sits toward the low end of the 55 single-session pottery classes we list in Seattle. They run from $25 to $650, and the typical price is $98.
That works out to about $16 an hour for a 3.5-hour session.
If one session leaves you wanting more, 6 studios we list run multi-week pottery courses, from $140.

New to pottery?
Most first classes are either a wheel taster, where you learn to centre clay and pull up a cylinder, or hand-building, where you shape a mug, dish or planter with pinch, coil and slab techniques.
- Wear clothes that can get muddy and keep nails short; rings and bracelets come off before the wheel.
- Expect two to three hours for a single session. Clay, tools and firing are almost always in the price; glazing sometimes costs extra.
- A one-time class is the cheap way to find out whether you want a five- or six-week course, which is where the wheel actually starts to click.
Taking it home: Not on the day. Pieces dry, are fired, glazed and fired again, so studios usually hold them for two to four weeks.
