About the workshop

During this intensive 3-hour workshop you will learn the ABCs of wheelthrowing. We’ll start with the basic steps of kneading, centering and making the first basic form: the cilinder. From this cilinder you will learn how to change the shape into a cup, bowl or a small vase. You can choose speckled clay or plain beige clay and your creations will be fired after the workshop in a white shiny glaze. You will make 2 to 3 items and can pick them up 4 to 6 weeks later or we will send them to you ( €12,50).

  • Level: beginner, intermediair
  • Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy
  • We will provide a lab coat or apron, tools, clay, coffee/tea
  • Incl. firing and glazing of 3 items

The course fee includes all the materials, 2-time firing and follow-up work costs. The final firing is at 1260 degrees which makes the items strong and durable. Finished stoneware pieces will be covered with a lively white glaze. Finished porcelain pieces will be covered with a transparent glaze (tealights only on the inside).
