Join us here at the brewery on July 16th from 2-4PM to learn about the basic techniques of working with clay, and create your very own mug with ceramic artist Genevieve Chamberland. You will be guided through the mug making process and encouraged to add your own texture and imagery through clay manipulation and clay paints. Once complete, your clay mug will be glazed and fired at Genevieve's studio and returned for pickup at the brewery 10 days after the event. After glazing and firing, all projects will be food safe and ready for your favorite beverage (ahem...Steel Toe!). All participants that are of legal drinking age will receive a beer token the day of the event to enjoy a beer while you work on your masterpiece. Those who are not of drinking age will receive a ticket for any of our available non-alcohol beverages. During the event, every additional beer purchased by participants will earn them a ticket for a raffle to win an additional mug created by the host artist!
