Make a mug - pottery workshop for beginners
If you have never tried pottery before, this is a great introduction to the craft.
We will teach you an easy-peasy way to make your own mugs. No previous pottery skills are required and this would be a great activity for children and adults alike.
In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to construct a mug using slabs, ensure all the parts are securely attached, and make and attach a handle.
The cost of high quality paperclay, glaze and firing is included in the price for this workshop.
Suitable for ages 7 to adults (children must be accompanied by an adult).
WSP members $45
WSP non-members $50

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
Have you seen a fire engine go over a raised platform?
Traffic calming measures are delaying response times for fire crews and putting lives at risk, a group of frontline Hamilton firefighters say.
Last month Hamilton City Council slammed the brakes on a number of not-yet contracted roading projects that would have installed more raised platforms and in-lane bus stops across the city after a “tsunami” of push-back from the public.
