About this class
In this pottery course near Lüneburg, you will create your very own pieces of ceramic — from molding to painting. Whether it's an imaginative fire cooker, bird bath, cake pan, jewelry box, pot, vase or sculpture: You decide what you create.
You will work both on the turntable and with construction techniques and will be guided step by step. A small group of a maximum of 5 people creates a calm, concentrated atmosphere in which you can fully focus on your creativity. The special thing: The inspiring environment of an artists' studio in a rural location and the combination of craftsmanship, nature and design make this experience unique.
