Day 1 — Introduction and turning on the potter's wheel
At the beginning, you will learn the most important basics and techniques of making pottery on the turntable. We'll show you how to prepare, center and shape the sound. After the introduction, there is plenty of time to practice and experiment. With individual support, you can design your first bowls, cups or other unique items.

On the second day of the course, you will turn off your dried workpieces and refine them. You will then receive an introduction to designing with engobes. This is how you give your ceramics a personal touch with colors, patterns and creative details.
The small group size creates a relaxed learning atmosphere with plenty of space for individual support, questions and creative development.
