About this class
Dive into the fascinating world of ceramics and discover the art of pottery at the turntable. In this 2.5-hour taster course, you will learn the basics of one of the oldest craft techniques and shape your first piece of ceramic with your own hands.
After just a few minutes, you sit at your own turntable and see how a lump of clay slowly turns into a bowl, a cup or a small container. Shooting requires concentration, sensitivity and a bit of patience. That is exactly what makes it so special. Many participants describe it as surprisingly relaxing and almost meditative.
