You Asked—We Added Another Mug Night!

Our Mother’s Day jewellery workshop and recent mug night filled up in a flash—so we’re adding one more special evening of clay, just in time for Mother’s Day!

Join us on May 8 from 6–8:30 PM in the AX Workshop Room for a hands-on ceramics session where you’ll handbuild your very own custom mug. Whether it’s a heartfelt gift or your new go-to for morning coffee, it’ll be something truly unique—made by you!

Led by AX Artist-in-Residence Jen Pilon, this workshop will walk you through the process of shaping, decorating, and finishing your mug. No experience needed—just bring your creativity!

After the workshop, we’ll fire your piece in our kilns, and you’ll be able to pick it up at a later date. (expect a minimum of three weeks turnaround time!).
