Want to get a taste of ceramics but only have time for one session and you want to work on your own project? This is a one-session class where you will be able to make in a relaxed and cosy atmosphere, with our help. 

We will introduce you to two hand-building techniques (slab-building and pinching) and then you will be able to freely make up to 4 pieces, obviously under our supervision and help if needed. If you have taken a class before, this is also a great workshop if you want to refresh your skills and practice. We will then be taking care of the firing and glazing. You will be able to choose among our 7 studio glazes (see last photo). 

Let it be the start of your journey into pottery or a fun activity with a friend. The pieces you create can also be perfect as thoughtful gifts.

Further information

During this taster course you will be able to make up to 4 pieces, with our supervision. It is a shorter, introductory course, but enough time to discover the materials and make something unique. We will also cover a few decorative techniques, so you have the chance to make your set special to you. 

Classes will be held in a relaxed setting, with a max. of 8 participants per class. This enables plenty of 1-on-1 time to get the most out of this taster session.

After the class, you will leave the pieces with us to be finished. We will take care of firing and coating them in one of the 7 glazes you have chosen. 

They will take about 4 weeks to be finished and we will notify you by email when they are ready to be collected. 

Please note that we can only keep pieces 2 months after you have been notified.
