The pottery course consists of two dates and a total of approx. 5.5 hours. For the first appointment, we will make pottery together. The second date is freely selectable. Here we will glaze your finished works of clay.

Part 1: Pottery (3 hours)

• At the beginning, we will prepare all the steps for you once and explain every move.
• Then you can sit down at the turntable, we will accompany you every step and after a short time you will pull up your first vessels.
• In the 3-hour course, you will shoot 2-4 pieces.
• After the workpieces have been dried with a hot-air blow dryer, we will also show you how to turn off your containers.
• Turning off the turntable may be used to refine the shape a bit and to work out the floor.
• Here you draw across your shape with loops and remove layers of clay.
• Now it's time to wait. The clay dries 7-14 days before firing the vessels for the first time.

Part 2: Glazing your vessels (2.5 hours)

• The date for glazing your works is freely selectable and takes place approx. 7-14 days after the pottery has been made.
• If you only want to come once, simply select the glaze of your choice after pottery and we will do the glazing for you.
• We are proud of our large selection of high-fire glazes, we will explain to you how to apply the different glazes correctly and what other design options are available.
• After glazing, everything goes back into the oven, where it is fired at 1200 °C.
• 10-14 days after glazing, you can hold your unique pieces in your hands. The workpieces are frost-resistant, can be put in the dishwasher and are also suitable for the microwave or oven.
