About this class

Are you interested in pottery and would like to learn how to create unique models out of clay? Then our pottery course in Cologne West is the right place for you! Learn everything you need to know about clay and make your own pretty pots in this pottery class in Cologne. In such an art class, express your creativity and create very personal objects out of clay.

The material and burning costs are included; should the amount of clay exceed 2 kg, 1.5€ per kilo would have to be paid

 

What is included in the pottery course?

  • Find out everything you need to know about pottery
  • A small snack and hot and cold drinks
  • After an appointment, the work will be fired by me after a drying period of 2 weeks.
  • When booking several pottery course appointments, larger works can also be carried out, which can even be placed weatherproof in the garden.
  • We are happy to embellish the work with special clay paints (engobes) or shiny color glazes, but this on a second appointment, as the surface treatment has to be fired again.

 

Where does the pottery course take place?

The pottery course takes place in our cozy courtyard studio in a former horse stable in western Cologne in Frechen. The children can also run at the farm and it is conveniently located, parking spaces are available, and we are also easily accessible by public transport.

What you’ll do in the class

  • In small groups, you have 4 hours of opportunity to dedicate yourself entirely to freehand pottery and feel the meditative effect of clay.
  • We work with sound. I'll show you the building roller technique.
  • We shape, knead and sculpt the clay to our heart's content!
  • Bowls, vases, cups, planters and free work, including figurative objects, can be created. I am at your disposal with all the know-how I have acquired over 35 years.
  • After the pottery course, I will burn the pottery for you. As soon as they are ready for collection, I will let you know and you can take your great vessels home.

Who is the class suitable for?

The pottery course in Cologne West is suitable for anyone who wants to spend a relaxing and creative time. Learning to make pottery has something calming about it and relieves you of all your everyday stress. You also don't need any special previous experience.

We were warmly welcomed by the course instructor, and after a briefing on how to use and process sound, we were able to let our creativity run wild. Assistance was provided promptly and questions were answered expertly. The cold and hot drinks announced for confetti were limited to just 2 tea bags that were still available, cold drinks were not offered. Furthermore, there was also no snack advertised in confetti. The room temperature was rather cold.

The course is for creative people, but also beginners. I particularly liked the fact that you are initially explained the basic steps and then you can work completely freely. In the four hours, you have enough time to do a lot of pottery.

The size of the course and the explanations, support and atmosphere were great. It was great that we were first explained a few things, but then were able to implement individual ideas with support (if needed). The duration was a bit too long for us, but that's a matter of taste. What bothered: For products that come into contact with water, you have to make a glaze differently that is not included in the price. I would have expected transparent communication in advance.

There were three of us in the course as friends and we enjoyed the relaxed, open and funny atmosphere. The teacher was there to help and advise us, so that even something nice came out at the end of the course:) Thank you!
