About this class
Have you always wanted to try pottery on a turntable?
In this course in Berlin, you'll get a feel for the tone between your hands. You will get a comprehensive insight into the basics of making pottery at the turntable. Our experienced course instructors will show you how to center and raise the sound. You can then try your hand at the turntable and design your own vessels, which are then fired and glazed by us.
Choose your date and create your first ceramic works with us.
