🎃🍕 Pumpkin painting + pizza… name a better Halloween combo!

Paint your own ceramic pumpkin, then tuck into a 10” pizza + soft drink from 👏🏼

Fancy dress encouraged 👻 BYOB welcome 🍷 and your pumpkin will be glazed, fired and ready to collect 4 weeks later.

Cute, cosy Halloween plans = sorted 🎃✨

Never a dull moment at Mud 🤝🏼

A little look at what we’ve been up to over the last few weeks, plenty of clay, plenty of craic and, as always, a little bit of chaos 😂

Wouldn’t have it any other way 🫶🏼

Wine. Cheese. Pottery. We’ve officially run out of ways to improve an evening 🤪🍷🧀

Graze your way through a beautiful selection of cheeses & charcuterie, perfectly paired with three Spanish wines, because wine deserves good company. Amongst all that, make your very own wine vessel + cheese plate 👏🏼

Will the wine improve your pottery skills? Unclear.

Will you care by glass number two? Also unclear.

A very good night out with a little clay thrown in🍷

Grab your favourite people & book your spot, we can’t wait to see you!

We are so excited for Belfast Potters' Market this weekend!! 😁🏺🛍

Having spent the last 5 years organizing the market it holds a very special place in our hearts. We know firsthand just how much love, sweat, and clay goes into bringing it all together and know that Joanne from is doing a fantastic job organizing. We are so pleased to see it continue to thrive at 2 Royal Avenue.

We can't wait to catch up with old friends, meet the new faces, and browse beautiful handmade pieces from over 40 of Ireland's finest potters. Whether you are hunting for the perfect mug, want to watch the live demos, or fancy having a go on the potters wheel at the free workshops, then come down and support this amazing community.

See you there this Saturday (10am–5pm) and Sunday (11am–4pm)! ✨🏺

Every pottery studio needs a highly qualified member of staff 🌟

Arlo’s responsibilities include: greeting customers, supervising pottery, requesting snacks and generally keeping morale high.

Clay skills: questionable.
Customer service: 10/10.
Attendance: impeccable. 🐾

The apprentice is taking over Thursdays 👀

Every Thursday this month, our apprentice Ceramics by Rachel Davey is taking the wheel… and teaching YOU how to use it too.

She’ll show you how it’s done, then it’s your turn. 90 minutes, plenty of clay, a little patience all round 😂 and around 4 pieces made by you.

Rachel gets to practise teaching. You get to practise throwing. Seems like a pretty good deal to us.

Your pieces will then be fired + glazed, ready to collect around 4 weeks later!
Every Thursday this month, book your apprentice wheel session 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼

It’s never just a mug. ☕️

It’s a feeling…

A slow morning. A little adventure. A reminder of home. That first coffee of the day that somehow tastes better from your mug ☕️

Into your homes. Your routines. Your weekends away. Your everyday moments. Yes, a Mud mug costs a little more than the one you might pick up with the weekly shop. But it’s made differently, bought differently and felt differently.

Because a Mud mug becomes YOUR mug.

The one you always reach for.
The one nobody else is allowed to use 😂
The one that ends up holding a whole lot more than coffee.

That’s the feeling we make 🤎
