About this class

Our taster course at the pottery wheel in Vienna offers you an ideal introduction to the world of pottery. In a relaxed studio atmosphere, you will learn the basic techniques and work directly at the hub. Step by step, we'll show you how to make a first vessel out of clay — from centering to molding. The focus is on trying things out; no previous knowledge is necessary. Small groups of max. 10 people and personal support ensure that you can fully engage in the creative experience and end up proudly holding your first piece of your own in your hands.

What you’ll do in the class

In the 2-hour trial course, we provide you with materials and tools for the turntable. After a 30-minute introduction, you'll have around an hour to make pottery yourself. The subsequent cleaning of the workplace takes approx. 20 minutes. In the end, you decide how many works you want to keep — then we trim, burn and glaze them for you. After around 2-3 weeks, they are ready and you can pick them up at the studio.

Who is the class suitable for?

Our courses are aimed at anyone who wants to work creatively and create something with their own hands — regardless of previous knowledge. Especially aimed at beginners who simply want to try out pottery at the turntable, as well as amateur creatives who want to take a conscious break from everyday life. Our taster course is also ideal for couples, groups of friends and people who are looking for a shared experience. The focus is not on perfection, but on the joy of designing, slowing down and immersing yourself in a creative craft experience.
