About this class

In this creative pottery course near Lüneburg, learn how to create unique works from clay — using assembly and turntable technology.

With plate technology, we form vessels and works of art, refine them on the turntable and add color with engobes. I then burn and glaze your work — and in the end, your dishwasher-safe masterpieces shine.

What you’ll do in the class

In this pottery class, we start with an introduction to the basics of pottery. Plate technology is a particular highlight. We use it to make wonderful cups, plates, vases, bowls and much more. To make the work look professional, we refine it on the turntable. You will then have the opportunity to paint your work with various engobe colors. I'll give you lots of pottery and painting tips so that you can let your imagination run wild and work with clay and colors.

We alternate between practical exercises on modelling and construction techniques and working on the turntable. You have plenty of time to practice both. Since we are only a small group, you will receive individual support so that you can see rapid progress. At the end of the course, you can choose your favorite piece, which I will burn and glaze for you so that it is dishwasher-safe and heat-resistant.

After 3-5 weeks, you can pick up your finished ceramic from me. I will notify you and let you know the dates. I am also happy to send them against payment of the shipping costs.

Who is the class suitable for?

This course is aimed at anyone who is interested in pottery and would like to try it out or expand their knowledge. It is ideal for friends, couples, work colleagues, and small families.

You don't need any previous knowledge for my pottery course.

It was a really nice course, the rooms are cozy and Doris is a very nice and experienced instructor. The course was well thought out, you first learn the most important information about the material and techniques. Everything kept short, of course, so that it fits in with the time of the course. The time flew by and everyone was able to get their hands on a successful result in the end. The turntable remains more of an extra for the subtleties of the previously modelled piece. Absolutely suitable for beginners like me, you also want to take home something nice at the end. The group of a maximum of 4 people is great, as Doris is able to meet everyone's needs and answer all questions without taking long breaks. I can only recommend the course.

As a beginner and without any previous knowledge, I am very satisfied with my product, which I made myself with instructions during the course. My expectations have been fully met, and when my product is still burnt at some point in my home, I will always be happy to remember the wonderful experience I had with a girlfriend. Thank you so much!
