The favorite clay mug on the breakfast table, the soft leather case in the pocket, the warm wood of the picture frame on the living room wall: I make unique pieces that don't exist a second time. They not only look good, but also feel wonderful.

We were there with the whole family today and absolutely enjoyed it. When the weather was great, we did pottery outside and were able to spend time together in peace. The introduction and assistance with the individual “projects” was super helpful. Unfortunately, time flew by very quickly. I made a sauce warmer during that time. I'm already looking forward to the finished result. Great atmosphere and great service. Thanks for that!

We had a wonderful evening in Carsten's workshop. With a lot of patience and helpful tips, he showed us how to make cups, bowls or creative vases. I'm already looking forward to the finished result and I'm excited to see how the glaze turned out 😊

The course couldn't have been more beautiful! Hanze took place in a very cozy workshop with a wood stove and tea. We were a pleasantly small group of 6 people. Carsten is super friendly and friendly, explained and showed everything. You could make as much pottery as you wanted and you could do it in 3 hours. The black tone also looks very classy. The course was a gift and an absolute hit! Dear Carsten, thank you very much!
