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.

The pottery class was great again. The studio was lovingly decorated and there were also drinks and snacks. Absolute feel-good atmosphere. The instructions from dear Julia are simply perfect. The works can only be enchanting there. Thank you Melli PS: I'll be back 🥰

I took one of Julia's courses and I absolutely love it! Julia is very patient, competent and explains every technique in an understandable way. The relaxed atmosphere was ideal for letting creativity run wild. I particularly enjoyed the individual support — beginners were also provided with excellent support. I'm already looking forward to the next course!

I can highly recommend the pottery courses with Julia GlückSton. It is so fun to make pottery in her cozy studio and under her expert guidance that everyone really goes home with a beautiful piece of art they have made themselves.

It was a really great experience, it was very relaxing, exciting and above all I enjoyed creating my own work. Julia does the class, she explains it brilliantly, helps, of course, so that you achieve your goal and is very passionate about it. My wife and I will definitely go again. Thank you so much for this unique art experience.

I have already taken several courses with Julia and am always impressed. I already have pottery, beaded and plate vases all my crockery. Thumb press, etc. The courses are in small groups, in a cozy and familiar environment, so everyone can implement their wishes. I am still a loyal participant and am already looking forward to my next works. Thanks to Julia for her patience and for teaching me a love of pottery, it is a kind of meditation and forgetting everyday life. Thanks to her from ❤️
