About this class

Pottery course in Cologne: Learn pottery now

In this 3.5-hour pottery course, you will make wonderful ceramics such as heads, figures, bowls and vessels using construction technology. Our experienced ceramist Bele is at your side with expert guidance, tips and help. Coffee, water and cookies are ready for you in our cozy kitchen in case you need a break.

The price also includes participation in another glazing appointment of around 2 hours on a Monday of your choice at 19:00. Here you can glaze your works; only the burning costs are not included.

How does the pottery course work?

  • For example, we use construction technology to produce heads, but also bowls, vessels or figures.
  • If you want, we can design the whole thing so that you can even plant something in it later.
  • At another appointment (approx. 2 hours), we will glaze your pottery. This is how you get a weatherproof, food-safe work of art. The glazing appointments take place every Monday from 19:00 to 21:00 and are included.
  • Your works dry for about 7-10 days and are then fired. We will then contact you so that you can choose an appointment for glazing.

Your new ceramic work of art is sure to be an eye-catcher!

Pottery course in Cologne: Who is the course suitable for?

The pottery course is suitable for beginners who enjoy creating something with their hands. When sculpting the clay, you feel the natural, earthy material and can completely immerse yourself in it. Create your own unique pieces!

In a manageable group with a maximum of 8 participants, you will learn how to build ceramics and can let your imagination run wild in the ceramic workshop! In this way, we guarantee individual advice during the pottery course so that everyone gets the help they need. So you can learn to make pottery in a relaxed way.

When can I pick up my ceramic after firing?

The clay objects are burned by us. You can then pick up your finished fired ceramic after 2-3 weeks.

If you want to glaze your work, you can make and book a new appointment on site. It takes place every Monday from 19:00 to 21:00.

We are already looking forward to making ceramic heads with you in our pottery courses in Cologne.

Direct start without long explanations. Immediate assistance, very nice and competent course instructor. Recommended! It was fun! A bit wrong at the beginning, but that's probably still to come :-)

Great pottery class in a relaxed atmosphere. Bele gave us advice and assistance in a relaxed atmosphere and patiently explained everything about sound to us. I liked her funny and open-minded nature. I will be happy to recommend the course to others.

We had a lot of fun taking the course. The time has flown by and we're all really happy with our results even though we're all beginners. We were given very valuable tips and were able to ask questions at any time. We were completely happy and would have liked to continue potting for longer, so our only suggestion for improvement would be to extend the time further.

I was very disappointed. You didn't get any specific instructions, everyone did what they wanted, although the topic of the course was sculpting heads out of clay. I expected something like Artnight where you are guided step by step. For example, I paid just under 90€ for 2.5 hours of working alone with sound, which I could have had cheaper and more efficiently at home with a YouTube video. Unfortunately not recommended 👎🏻

Eight of us went to Bele pottery and really enjoyed it. With their tips and help, the results will hopefully also be worth seeing:) We will definitely glaze them in another course.
