Mess We Made Manila (MWM)
Perhaps when we think of aesthetically pleasing tableware, what comes to mind are the beautiful ceramics from Mess We Made Manila. Made with love from human bare hands, MWM’s ceramic plates, bowls, and cups usually come from their art ceramic courses. In these two-hour courses, visitors get to learn the process of making DIY ceramic ware out of pre-colored materials. Moreover, the students learn a variety of techniques to experiment with to achieve their desired designs.
With each class, students get to create molds of a plate, a bowl, and a saucer of their own design. These molds will then be left with MWM for a good 3-4 weeks to bake them into a kiln. Once they’re ready, the molds are open for pickup or for delivery.
MWM’s courses are open to all ages and are beginner-friendly to anyone who dares to try them out. Additionally, they also offer private classes and group courses for their visitors to choose from. It is located at Southbank Cafe & Lounge, Westgate Center, Alabang.
