A 5h handbuilding class in a small group of 4–6 people to explore and shape clay with your own hands.
Session 1 – Handbuilding
After a short introduction to pottery, you’ll learn the three basic handbuilding techniques: pinching, coiling, and slab building. You are invited to work intuitively with the clay’s materiality to create functional or sculptural pieces—such as plates, cups, bowls, candle holders, vases, or completely free forms. Your work will then dry for 7–10 days before the first (bisque) firing.
Session 2 – Glazing
In the second session, you’ll refine and glaze your bisque-fired pieces, focusing on the color design. Therefore you can choose of a wide range of stoneware glazes, underglazes and ceramic chalks. Afterwards, your ceramics will be glaze fired at 1240 °C
After the workshop
Once the glaze firing is complete, your ceramics are ready to take home. Pick up your finished ceramics 1-2 weeks after the course, shipping is also possible (+€7.50).
The Workshop fee includes all materials and bisque + glaze firing and takes place in my studio at Danzig am Platz:
Ostparkstraße 11, 60314 Frankfurt am Main
