✺ Sessions 1 & 2: with a strong focus on technique, you will learn how to prepare and centre clay and create vessels on the potter’s wheel. While the first session is a bit slower and goes more in-depth, the second session offers you ample time to practice and experiment freely under our guidance.
✺ Session 3: once your pieces made in the first 2 sessions have dried to a leather-hard texture, we will refine their silhouette, remove the excess clay from the base and show you how to add texture and make attachments such as handles.
✺ Session 4: learn the basics of glazes and decorate your pieces with techniques such as brushing, pouring and dipping.
Your pieces will be ready to be picked up during our opening hours ca. 3-4 weeks after the last session of the course.
The price of the workshop includes all material and firing fees. All classes are taught in English. You don’t need to have any pottery experience to attend this course, but it might be useful as a refresher course for those who have dabbled at the wheel in the past.
Aprons are available, but please wear suitable clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting covered in clay.
