About this class

This taster pottery course focuses on the immediate experience with the material clay. You will learn the basic techniques for making a shaped vessel out of a lump of clay.

What you’ll do in the class

Your windshield experience:
The course introduces you to typical movement sequences step by step. The focus is not on perfection, but on learning how to feel for the material and how to rotate the disc.

  • All-round service for your works:
    So that you can fully concentrate on shooting, we take care of the subsequent completion of your pieces:
  • Post-processing:
    We professionally process your up to 3 pieces.
  • Finishing:
    After the first firing (scrub firing), we glaze your works with a glaze of your choice.
  • Finalization:
    After the second fire, your unique pieces are finished and ready for use in everyday life.

Who is the class suitable for?

This course is suitable for all curious people who are in the mood for a new haptic experience. Absolutely no previous knowledge is required — the focus is on having fun trying things out.
