EZ Mug Workshop-in-a-Box
With the health and safety of its membership and community the Ludington Area Center for the Arts has decided to pause hosting in-person workshops and classes due to concerns with the rising number of COVID-19 cases in our area.
In an effort to keep the creative juices flowing LACA has created a number of "Workshop-in-a-Box" take home classes for students
to do from the comfort and safety of their home.
Ludington area artist Mary Case has created this EZ Mug Workshop in a Box.
An easy project for the whole family. Everything you need is in the box to create a mug from a single slab of clay. Create something unique and we will fire it for you in the color of your choice.
In addition to the materials, students will also be given a link to an online instructional video. Following the completion of the mug students will return it to LACA to be fired and glazed. Students will be contacted when their mug is ready to be picked up.
