About this class
In this workshop for beginners, you will learn simple pottery techniques and build your first own objects. All the material you need to make pottery is either available on site (in a beautiful, bright studio space in Berlin) or brought to the venue (as a mobile workshop). With or without previous experience, you can create your own pottery project and will be professionally supervised throughout. A course leader with years of practical experience will support you with attention, mindfulness and motivation. In this way, you will learn new techniques or improve your skills as a beginner in no time.
The special thing about this workshop: You can paint your pottery object directly. The course instructors bring special paints that are applied directly to the still moist clay. After a few weeks, your ceramic is ready.
What you’ll do in the class
In this workshop for beginners, you will learn simple pottery techniques and build your first own objects.
1) Introduction (20 min.):
At the beginning, there is an introduction to the material (clay mass) and the tool. The participants then share their own wishes and ideas — together we discuss what can be implemented and present suitable techniques.
Alternatively: On request, the course instructor can provide a suitable topic.
2) Pottery (90 min.): Now you can try yourself out. The experienced course leader is available for questions and assistance throughout the course and supports the implementation of the projects. Experience has shown that around 2-3 individual objects are created in 90 minutes.
3) Painting (30 min.): The objects are painted with special paints (glazes). Various brushes and five colors are available for this purpose. Whether small details or larger areas — you design according to your taste.
4) Conclusion (10 min.): Together, the still damp and painted objects are safely stowed away and the materials are packed. After about 4 weeks, your finished ceramics are ready to be picked up.
The ceramics can either be picked up in Berlin or sent to a desired address for a shipping fee of 10 euros.
The event will be held in German and/or English.
The ticket includes:
✔ 2.5-hour workshop
✔ including materials for pottery
✔ Selection of high-quality glazes
✔ subsequent glaze firing for your ceramic
Who is the class suitable for?

Details to remember

In my ceramics courses, you get plenty of room to try things out. In small groups, we discover the inexhaustible potential of sound. You develop trust in your own creative process — in an open studio atmosphere.
