About this class

In the handbuilding pottery course in Offenbach Nordend, you will dive into the art of handbuilding — working freely with clay. You use your hands to refine individual ceramic objects such as cups, bowls or small vases. You will learn classic techniques such as pinching, coiling and slab building and have the opportunity to implement very personal designs.

The beautiful, relaxed atmosphere in the small group studio “a pinch of salt” gives you intensive support and creative freedom. The course is ideal for beginners and advanced users — all materials, glazes, tools and both firing processes are included.

What you’ll do in the class

Workshop process: Getting started & designing the first objects

  • Welcome to the studio and introduction to hand building techniques: pinching, coiling, slab building
  • Implementation of initial designs — e.g. cups, bowls or decorative objects
  • Clay processing and shaping tips
  • Recent corrections and surface treatment
  • Preparation for scrubbing. The pieces must dry for approximately 7 to 10 days before they are put in the oven and fired for the first time. The objects can then be glazed.

 

After firing and slowly cooling down, your finished pieces will be ready for collection approximately 2 weeks later (during our pick up times, Saturdays 1 p.m. — 4 p.m.).

Who is the class suitable for?

The course is ideal for anyone who wants to dive into the world of ceramics — whether beginners or with experience. Also perfect as a creative balance to everyday life.

We work in small groups so that I can provide you with the best possible support.

We visited a handbuilding & glazing workshop with Tamara and are happy to have found her. First, there was a warm welcome and then some information about the materials and techniques. Shortly after, we were able to get started. There was an incredibly nice and relaxed atmosphere. Tamara is very welcoming and does her job with a lot of love - you can feel that immediately. The beautiful studio completes the whole thing: good music, snacks and tea, beautiful interior but above all beautiful works of art wherever you look. You don't even want to go anymore or take a lot of things home with you:) I think you can't avoid the wheel throwing workshop after a handbuilding workshop:)

A really great workshop that I can recommend with a clear conscience! The workshop was a gift to my mother, who was very impressed and delighted with the great gift. Tamara knows her craft and has passed on the content to us with a lot of fun and patience. Thanks again Tamara and best regards. Niki and Ekaterini
