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.
