4-Week, Potter's Wheel, Evening Class-Beginner (Töpferscheibe-Workshop für Anfänger, am Abend)

Workshop Overview

Over the four sessions in 4 weeks, you will learn the essential techniques and concepts needed to craft your own ceramic works on the potter's wheel.

By the end of the course, you’ll take home your own stoneware ceramic pieces — hand-thrown, glazed, and painted by you!

Our passion is to provide a fully satisfying ceramic experience through high-quality instruction and a warm, inspiring studio atmosphere.

The Workshop

Session 1
Time: 6:30 – 9:00 pm

We will guide you step by step in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
You’ll have time to practice what you learn.

Session 3

You will learn how to trim and refine the pieces we made in the previous sessions.
You’ll also learn how to attach handles and complete your own unique ceramics.

Session 4 – Glazing & Painting

Once your pieces are bisque fired, we will email you suggested glazing dates.
