About this class
Why stop turning or trimming the potter's wheel when you can actually create unique pieces by making individual changes to the rotated objects?
Inspired by artists such as Hans Coper or Picasso, who adapted the ceramics turned on the potter's wheel to a leather-hard state, we will come up with personalized shapes by turning on the potter's wheel and then playfully combining, adapting or modifying pieces.
The course:
The workshop is spread over 3 inspiring days. With this workshop, you book the following dates: 29.3./30.3./26.4. If you can't on 26.4., you can have your creation glazed by Anke.
The finished work is fired with the glaze within a few days to weeks after the workshop. Please inform yourself in good time (max. 4 weeks) when you can pick up your fired ceramic.
Prerequisite: Experience with clay and the potter's wheel

Here are some products you can add to your event

Ton muss gebrannt werden, um zu Keramik zu werden. Erst nach einem Brand hat dein Objekt eine Chance heil zu bleiben.
Der erste Brand ist der Schrühbrand, wobei das Tonobjekt bei 950*C für 2,5 Tage im Ofen ist.
Nach dem Brand ist die Keramik stabil aber noch nicht Wasserdicht. Dazu braucht es einen weiteren Brand. (Siehe Glasurbrand)

Voraussetzung für diese Option ist der Schrühbrand. Nach dem ersten Brand kann deine Keramik ein zweites Mal gebrannt werden, um wasserfest und gebrauchsfertig zu werden.
Beim Glasurbrand ist deine Keramik bei 1220*C für weitere 2,5 Tage im Ofen.
Der Preis ist ein Kilopreis.

Voraussetzung für den Glasurservice ist der Schrühbrand und anschliessend der Glasurbrand.
Nachdem deine Keramik einmal gebrannt ist, kann ich das Objekt für dich mit transparenter Glasur Glasieren. Dann wird die Keramik ein zweites Mal gebrannt (bei 1220*C) und ist anschliessend glänzend, wasserfest und lebensmittelecht.
