About this class
Rethinking porcelain mugs: In this two-day creative workshop in Düsseldorf, you create your own plaster mold and pour two individual porcelain cups out of it.
The 2-day workshop comprises a total of around 9 hours, spread over two days.
- On the first day, you will make your own plaster mold under guidance.
- On the second day, you complete the mold, then pour an individual porcelain mug and prepare it for drying.
Your pieces dry for about 1 to 2 weeks and are then fired.
You then have two options:
- You can optionally take part in a separate glazing workshop and glaze your mug yourself.
- Alternatively, we can glaze your pieces for you. They are then ready for collection after around 4 to 5 weeks or we will send them to you.
If you want to continue, you can then rent a workshop space and continue working on your porcelain project yourself.
