About Pottery: Pilgrim's Mug

Friday 18 September 2026
10.30 - 3.30pm

Join our Watts Potter Michelle Shields to hand build a special Pilgrim’s Mug inspired by Compton Pottery.

You will learn to pinch, coil and slab build your piece using terracotta clay. Finishing with decorative slips and underglazes of your choice before scratching your design into the surface using a sgraffito technique.

Finished by the studio potter with a clear glaze to create a fully functioning pilgrim’s mug.
