About this class
Your creative journey into the world of ceramics and clay modelling. Do you miss working with your hands and are fascinated by ceramics, pottery and the careful use of clay? With this course, you can get your hands dirty and turn your own ideas into sound at the same time. Forget about time and dive into the flow. The artist Anke Buchmann invites you to her wonderful studio in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg, for the ceramic starter course. In the two-hour course, you will learn the essential techniques, techniques and material properties of clay and be inspired to model unique pieces of ceramic such as vessels, sculptures or figures.
This is how we awaken your creative potential
What is included in the pottery workshop?
Anke's course not only gives you insights into the world of clay modelling, but also into the skills and experience she acquired during her studies at London's Central Saint Martins Art University. In a relaxed atmosphere and under their guidance, you will model your own objects. Various tools and aids as well as the sound are available to you. The sculpted works are dried and fired in the studio (abrasive fire is included in the price). Sound (with fire) is included in the course price.
If desired, the fired objects can be glazed on site a few weeks later on a drop-in Sunday and fired again during the glaze firing. (additional charge of approx. 20 euros)
Where does the event take place?
Our creative adventure starts in Anke's wonderful studio in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg.
What is the aim of this ceramic workshop?

The fired objects can be glazed and re-fired on site (additional charge of approx. 20 euros).

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.
