Love a good mug?
Wanna make your own SUPER unique one, with any kind of crazy embellishment you can dream of ?
Perhaps one with a nose? Or, an eyeball? A slug? A boob? A pair of boobs? Or you could be totally outrageous and make a plain 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 bring your wildest mug dreams to life.
Dominique will guide participants through hand forming their mug and sculpting an additional feature to add to the mug. They can then colour their mugs with an array of underglazes. Each piece is left to be picked up later once Dominique has glazed and fired them.

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 at The Incubator, Historic Village.
