Workshop Ceramics
The ceramic class is divided into two sessions.
You can book a session for a group of 6–8 people.
-
First class (Handbuilding): Explore the basics of ceramics and experiment with different techniques.
-
Second class (Glazing): About a month after the first session, you’ll glaze your pieces and bring your creations to life.
​
​​
Day one (3 hours)
This day you will learn basic handbuilding techniques (no wheel throwing) and create a 2-4 of your own pieces. This can range from a small espresso cup to a vase or a sculpture. We work with white earthenware clay that is perfect for beginners.
​
Drying and bisque firing
After you've created your work it is time for it to dry a few days so it looses all moisture. Once it is bone dry we will put it in the kiln to fire it for the first time, the bisque fire.
​
Day two (2-3 hours)
Your pieces are ready to be glazed ("painted"). You will learn about the wonder that is glazing and apply it to your pieces.
​
Glaze firing
Your pieces are fired to 1040 degrees which takes 9-11 hours and then cool off. During this they will develop their colours.
​
Pick-up
You can pick up your pieces as a group or do it individually, whatever you prefer.
​
​
Times/ days can be discussed, as what is available.
