Class description
Have you always wanted to try out pottery and create unique objects out of clay? Then this pottery course in Frankfurt is just the right thing for you! Create your own design according to your ideas. I'll show you all the techniques you need to make pottery.
The pottery course takes place in a beautiful studio in Frankfurt. Everything you need to make pottery is ready for you here. I am looking forward to getting to know you and introducing you to the art of pottery.
Notes:
- Clay can be washed out of clothing. If you still want to protect your clothes, feel free to bring an apron.
- Short fingernails are an advantage when making pottery, and you should also remove rings.
- We usually work standing up. If you prefer to sit, chairs are of course also available.
How does this activity work?
- We'll start with a joint exercise (thumb squeeze technique) to get a feel for the sound and we will all make a small bowl.
- Here it quickly becomes clear that the same technique produces different results and that everyone creates an individual piece in the end. Because it's not just about technology, it's also about your own handwriting.
- You can then make your own pottery. If you have sketches or inspiration, feel free to bring them along, I will help you implement them. If you don't have any ideas yet, I would also be happy to assist you in brainstorming and design development.
- Due to the small group size of a maximum of 5 participants, you have enough time to try things out and I can provide you with intensive and individual support. I would be happy to show you the techniques with which you can achieve the best possible results for your pieces.
- Each person produces approx. 2-4 pieces, depending on the effort and size. For example, you can make plates, cups, bowls, or vases.
- You can choose a color for each object (e.g. dark blue, transparent, green, orange, white). I'll take care of your pottery masterpiece, burn and glaze it with the color of your choice.
- I will then notify you as soon as your items are ready for collection. This takes approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
Who should definitely take part?
The workshop is suitable for beginners, no previous knowledge is required.
The course instructors will individually address your level of knowledge and support you in implementing your projects.

In my courses, I attach great importance to individual support and transfer of knowledge so that everyone can make their dream objects. You will not only get a feel for this craft and the processing of natural materials, but you will also develop your own signature.
