Are you looking for a place where you can come together as a family and experience something together? Or where you want to celebrate your child’s birthday? We offer you as a family or as a group of children the opportunity to discover together with us the world of hand modeling, making your own handmade ceramic piece in one of our two studios.

In this 2,5 hour course you will perfect your own ceramic creation under the guidance of our experienced ceramists. It’s fun, cozy and everyone does something! We will learn the basic techniques of hand modeling while making a fully functional piece of dinnerware or beautiful sculpture or figurine. The unique offer of this class that you’ll not only work on the shape of your ceramic piece, but also try out engobes – the special underglaze paint that you can apply directly to the raw clay. This will give you endless possibilities to make your masterpiece the cutest piece in the world: little flowers, hearts, stripes, vegetables… You can come up with your own ideas or get inspired by ours!

Up to 12 children/adults can participate in this experience.

+ Course plan
To begin, we will show some ceramics for inspiration. Everyone can then decide individually whether to model a functional object, such as a cup, or a decorative piece, such as a figurine (~1 – 1,5 h).
During a short break (~30 min), which can be used to eat cake or unwrap gifts, we dry the ceramics so that it can be painted with engobes right away (~30 min).

+ Magic process
After letting the pieces dry for a few days after you have been with us, we fire them at 960 degrees Celsius in our kiln. This takes about 20 hours. Then, once the pottery has cooled, we dip it in transparent glaze to reveal the true colors of the engobes. Now we fire the pieces again in the kiln – this time at 1240 degrees to make them shiny, durable, food safe and dishwasher safe. This process takes another 24-28 hours. Only then do we notify you that the ceramic works are ready for pickup!
