Popi Poterie: Töpferkurse

My name is Alexia, I am 29 years old and I am from Lille in the north of France. Currently based in Germany, in the charming city of Heidelberg, I create my ceramics at home. 

Pottery has always held a great fascination for me, but it was only in 2021 that I really started taking classes and immersing myself in this world. I loved it right away, so much so that just six months after my first lesson, I bought my own potter's wheel so I could make pottery as much as possible. :) The manufacturing process is so fascinating, and the possibilities are endless: it's impossible to get tired of it! 

I host the workshops in my apartment in Dossenheim, where I have a large space, a pottery wheel and a ceramic kiln.
It is important to me that the workshops are a pleasant and friendly time without judgment and in a good mood.
The workshops are in English because my level of German does not yet allow me to do so in German.

My values ​​: 

• Authenticity: this is a key value for me. I create with spontaneity and passion. I have never felt so fulfilled since I started making pottery. 
• Sharing: teaching other people to make pottery, sharing my passion with them, that makes me happy. For now I host the workshops at my home. Later, I dream of having my own workshop, where I can open my doors and share my passion through workshops and courses. 

Having your favorite cup or bowl, cherished and carefully maintained, whose shape and colors are unique and carefully chosen, will bring a little sunshine into your daily life. 

I work with stoneware, it is the strongest clay, fired at high temperature. You can use your creations like your usual dishes, they can even go in the microwave and dishwasher.
