Beer & Clay
Booking Details
Raise a glass and get creative at Beer & Clay, where you’ll make your very own drinking vessel – from a classic beer stein to a one-of-a-kind cup.
In a relaxed, social setting, you’ll learn the basics of hand-building with clay and shape your own piece from scratch. Add your personal touch with different stamps, patterns and textures to create a design that’s uniquely yours.
No experience needed. Just bring your creativity and enjoy two hours of clay, cold beer and good company. After the session, we’ll professionally fire and glaze your finished piece with a clear glaze, so it’ll be ready for many more beer moments to come.
Duration: 2 hours
Workshop type: Hand-building (modeling)
Level & age: Beginners welcome, ages 16+
Included: One fired and transparent-glazed piece, plus a few cold beers
Price: €69 per person
Optional extras:
Glazing workshop: €35 (bookable online)
Additional piece: +€12 (includes firing & transparent glaze, payable on-site)
Book your spot now and experience our Oktoberfest Special: Beer & Clay course!
During the quieter season from May to September, selected one-day social workshops may take place together with another workshop in a similar format. For example, Wine & Clay, Coffee & Clay, Hugging Cups, or other hand-building workshops may share the same studio session, while each participant still works on the project they booked.
Working alongside participants from other workshops also offers a lovely opportunity to learn from one another and discover new techniques or ideas that we may not have covered in your own course.
This creates a lively and inspiring group atmosphere while also allowing us to offer more workshop dates throughout the summer. From October to April, these workshops are generally held as separate course groups.
Je nach Dicke deiner Kreation kann es 5 - 8 Tage dauern, bis sie in den Brennofen können. Danach werden sie bei 960 Grad im Brennofen gebrannt. Das Erreichen dieser Temperatur sowie das langsame Abkühlen dauert bis zu 28 Stunden. Nachdem der erste Brand dann abgeschlossen ist, werden die Werke mit unseren Hochtemperaturglasuren am zweiten Termin deines Kurses von dir glasiert und danach kommen sie erneut in den Brennofen, um sie dieses Mal bei 1220 Grad zu brennen. Nach weiteren 36 Stunden ist dein Stück dann fertig und kann aus dem Ofen hinaus. Nun ist es langlebig und voll funktionsfähig, das bedeutet, du kannst es jetzt auch in die Mikrowelle sowie in den Geschirrspüler stellen.
Insgesamt sind die Keramikstücke 3 Wochen nach dem letzten Kurstag zur Abholung im jeweiligen Studio bereit. Dort sind sie dann nach Nachnamen in unseren Regalen einsortiert. Komm gerne während unserer Öffnungszeiten vorbei und hol sie ab.
In the case of a rescheduling or cancellation, you will find the corresponding instructions under the first question “How can I reschedule my course?”
Important: Rescheduling requests via email, phone or in person cannot be accepted and are therefore invalid.
On the one hand, there is wheel throwing, where pieces are created on the electric pottery wheel. The resulting objects are characteristically round, symmetrical and thin. On the other hand, there is modeling and shaping clay by hand at the worktable. This includes coiling, pinch technique and slab technique. Here you are not bound to the round base shape created by the wheel and can freely express your creativity.
However, shorter nails – and for pottery wheel courses also a hair tie for longer hair as well as clothes that may get a little dirty – are an advantage. If despite the aprons some clay or glaze gets onto your clothing, don’t worry, both can be easily washed out.
We keep already glazed course pieces in our pickup shelves for 3 months. After that, due to space limitations, they are sorted into monthly boxes where we can no longer guarantee completeness or condition. Every year before Christmas, we donate all remaining pieces that have been with us for more than one year to “Aktion Leben” to bring joy to someone else. :)
