Slug Mugs - Ceramic Workshop

Love a good mug? What about slugs? How about a SLUG MUG?

Dominique is our resident artist at The Pot House and fellow admirer of the weird and wonderful, and she’s here to help you craft your very own slug mug.

Dominique will guide participants through hand forming their mug and sculpting a beautiful little (or big) slug to feature on it. Then they can colour their slug mugs with an array of underglazes. Each piece is left to be picked up later once Dominique has glazed and fired them.

Tutor: Dominique Ford

A ceramic artist with a background in graphic design and children's book illustration, Dominique has three adult children and lives with her husband and some cats in rural Tauranga. Dominique describes her ceramics as fun and freaky, cute and creepy. "Do they want to hug you, or eat you?" Inspired by slugs, bugs and sea things; triffids, tentacles and body parts, Domonique believes everybody needs a vase to put pretty flowers in, especially if it has eyeballs, teeth and tentacles.

You can see Dominique’s work on her Instagram @precocious_vessels or visit them in the flesh at The Pot House in the Historic Village, Tauranga.
