Class description
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 meditative use of clay? With this course, you can get your hands dirty and at the same time turn your own ideas into sound and forget about time. The artist Anke Buchmann invites you to her wonderful studio in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg, for the ceramic starter course. In the three-hour course, you will learn the essential techniques, manipulations and material properties of clay and 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. If air-drying clay is used, the sculpted works can be taken home immediately afterwards or, in the case of ceramic clay, dried and fired in the studio (abrasive fire is included in the price). Both air-drying clay and ceramic clay (with fire) are included in the course price.
If desired, the fired objects can be glazed on site a few weeks later on a drop-in Saturday and fired again during the glaze fire. (additional charge of approx. 20 euros)
