Eight of our team were welcomed to the studio by Andy. After introductions over a cup of tea (in handmade mugs of course) and a quick tour of the workspace, the team were set to work, with Andy guiding every step of the way.

Wedge offers a range of workshops and courses, whether you’ve got two hours, one day or several weeks spare! Our team did a two-hour mug making workshop, where Andy talked us through the process, including the basics and hand-building techniques, to create our own masterpieces. Everything needed was provided, except the inspiration for the mug design! Our team created a mixture of bell shaped, tapered mugs and egg designs, with chunky handles, filigree style and some very inventive patterns and textures.

Jude Smeeth, Property Manager for Aspects Holidays says ‘Wedge Studio mug making experience was awesome, it was great to produce an individual clay mug with the guidance of Andy, who was really helpful and patient! Loved it, very therapeutic and relaxing’.

Jenna Ali, PR Executive enjoyed creating a personalised mug “The mug making class at Wedge was fantastic, it was incredibly satisfying creating a mug from scratch! Andy was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, taking care to ensure we were all happy with our creations. I loved that each of our mugs was completely unique!”

Whilst Property Manager Rosina Perry highly recommended the workshop “Would definitely do it again, perfect thing to do with a group of friends or family.”

Wedge isn’t just for the grown-ups, with their Family Mud Club and school holiday playshops, kids can get creative with demonstrations, all tailored for the little ones and with plenty of time for freestyling.
