About this Event

Join this 3-week course where you will learn about the origins of pottery-making while getting inspired by ancient shapes, symbols and traditions.

We will get inspired by clay toys and musical instruments during this class. These objects provide a glimpse into the joy of childhood as well as into the sounds and aesthetics of ancient times.

What to expect:

  • In the first 2 meetings, you’ll learn everything you need to know about hand-building pottery (how to work with clay, techniques, handling tools, decoration, glueing and much more).
  • Each week you will be inspired by ancient pottery and art to make your experience and objects unique (topics: ancient toys & musical instruments).
  • The last meeting is dedicated to glazing your pieces making your objects safe and ready to use.
  • You will have personalised learning in a small group of participants with guidance for all skill levels and interests.
  • You will feel confident and relaxed in a creative and friendly environment.
  • Some pieces can be coloured on the same day using underglazes, providing instant gratification and enhancing your pottery-making experience.
  • The class price includes all materials, including clay, tools, and glazes, as well as firing 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.
