How does this experience take place?
Day 1 — Introduction and turning on the potter's wheel
At the beginning, you will learn the most important basics and techniques of making pottery on the turntable. We'll show you how to prepare, center and shape the sound. After the introduction, there is plenty of time to practice and experiment. With individual support and personal support, you will design your first own bowls, cups or other unique items.
Day 2 — Twist and create
On the second day of the course, the already dried workpieces are turned off and refined. You will then receive an introduction to designing with engobes. In doing so, you give your ceramics a very personal touch through colors, patterns and creative details.
The small group size creates a relaxed learning atmosphere with plenty of space for individual support, questions and creative development.

For anyone who wants to learn how to turn a potter's wheel or deepen their first experiences. Thanks to the intensive support and the small group size, the course is suitable for absolute beginners as well as for anyone who wants to spend more time at the hub and improve their technique.
