• COURSE
This beginner-friendly course is for those who are curious to try out the pottery wheel. The course gives you an introduction to the first part of making pottery on the turntable. You'll learn how to prepare the sound, how to center it and how to shape the sound you want. We'll show and explain all steps to you in a demonstration, then you'll have enough time to try it yourself with our help and guidance. You'll have enough time to empathize and be creative. Everyone at their own pace! At the end of the course, there is a selection of different glazes (colors), which you can choose from. We will then lovingly take care of your pieces. They are fired by us (1st fire - scrub fire), glazed and fired again (2nd fire - glaze fire).
• COSTS
All material and firing costs are intended for up to 3 pieces. If you want to keep more items, they cost 10, -/piece. • PICK UP/PICKUP We will inform you by email when they are ready for collection (approx. 5-7 weeks) or we will send them to you by post (shipping costs are exclusive). You are welcome to pick them up on our pick up days. We ask you to pick up your items within two months. If you are unable to do so, feel free to send a friend your name.
We are very excited to get to know you and show you the beautiful and sometimes frustrating world of pottery!
