Join us for a one-of-a-kind pottery adventure that intertwines archaeological discoveries with the ancient art of crafting clay! Our class offers a creative exploration through art and history.During this class, we will get inspired by ancient clay beads and pendants that were a low-cost substitute for metal pieces. Using clay and hand-building techniques, we will try to create unique pieces.
What to expect:
• You will feel confident and relaxed in a creative and friendly environment.
• You’ll have the opportunity to create your own pottery pieces using various techniques, allowing you to express your creativity and connect with the past.
• Some pieces can be coloured on the same day using underglazes, providing instant gratification and enhancing your pottery-making experience.
• The price of the class includes all materials, including clay, tools, and glazes, as well as fireing services.
• Your pieces will be fired within 2 weeks, depending on how busy the studio is.
• We keep the pieces at the studio for max 3 months.
