Join Millie and make your very own mug! It is a fun way to get your hands dirty and your creative juices flowing! Using the pinch pot technique, she will walk you through the process of making your ceramic mug with a coil handle. You will paint your own surface designs using a variety of colorful underglazes. You will choose your interior glaze color and Millie will take the mugs back to her studio to fire and glaze them. This finishing process will take about 3 weeks. The mugs will be fully functional and can go in the microwave and dishwasher. You'll have the satisfaction of drinking out of a mug you made!

Miss Millie Ceramics is the creative work of an artist who has been drawn to making since childhood, first inspired by building a birdhouse with her grandfather in a garage filled with tools, wood, and possibility. Though art wasn’t a central focus growing up, her roots in a family of union workers and builders shaped her strong work ethic and hands-on approach. A high school ceramics class sparked a lasting passion for clay, eventually leading to a BFA from Alfred University in 2005.

Over the years, she has created sculpture, taught ceramics to all ages, and developed her own line of functional wares. Miss Millie Ceramics now features playful, hand-painted pottery for everyday use and mixed-media jewelry crafted from clay and foraged shells collected from her travels. Her work celebrates color, curiosity, and a deep love of making that has endured through all seasons of life.
