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 makes something! You will learn to make your own fully functional bowl. The unique offer of this course is that you will not only work on the shape of your ceramic piece, but also try out engobes – the special underglaze color that you can apply directly to the raw clay. This gives you endless possibilities to make your masterpiece the most amazing piece in the world: whether decorations with small flowers, hearts, stripes, vegetables… You can come up with your own ideas or be 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 (~1,5 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 28 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 1200 degrees to make them shiny, durable, food safe and dishwasher safe. This process takes another 36 hours. 
After approx. 3 weeks, your pieces will be ready for collection from the respective studio.
