About this class

Immerse yourself in the world of pottery and learn how to build your hand using the thumbprint technique in Augsburg!

In this course, you will create unique ceramic pieces such as cups, bowls or mugs — completely without a turntable. The thumb press technique is one of the oldest methods of ceramic design: With fingers and thumbs, the clay is formed into vessels. Step by step, completely individual pieces are created — such as cups, bowls, small vases or figurines.

After the workshop, your works will be professionally fired and glazed. An ideal experience for anyone who wants to get creative — alone or in small groups!

I'm Julia and I love working with sound. In addition to my own work, I offer small-group pottery courses. It's not just about the result, but about the experience: touch, shape, shape — and finally hold a piece in your hands that you've created yourself.
