Local clay – Paint Your Alta cup

Prehistoric ceramics have been found across Finnmark, including Alta that sits on rich clay deposits, perfect for truly local craft. Step into our cozy studio and get hands on with local clay: hear stories from regional history, discover the oldest paint we know, and see how Alta’s iron-rich clay is related to it.

After a quick but rich overview of ceramic basics, it’s your turn to decorate your cup with natural materials, inspired by local motives. This activity doesn’t require any experience, anyone can participate! After you’re done, you leave it to us, we fire your mugs overnight. You will get your ready creation the next day, bringing a little piece of Alta home. We keep it sustainable: materials sourced here in Alta and minimal waste. Welcome to our studio!

NOTE:
Your cup will be ready in 24 hours time (might be a few hours quicker). The cups can be picked up at the Tourism office or at the port.
If needed, we can ship the cup to your home country for NOK 200,- extra + shipment fee that you pay when receiving package.
