Painting Ceramics Hietzing
This workshop is for anyone who would like to paint pre-fired ceramic pieces. If you’d like to glaze your own handmade pottery, please book our glazing workshop instead.
Booking Details
+ Registration
Registration is free, even during peak times (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays). If you can’t make it, please cancel your appointment as early as possible using the link in your confirmation email. This way, someone else can take your spot.
+ Groups
If you’d like to sit together with friends, please make one single reservation for your whole group. That way, we can seat you all at the same table. If you make several separate free reservations, we unfortunately can’t guarantee that your group will be seated together.
For groups of 5 or more people, a reservation fee of €34.90 per person applies. This is a paid group booking and ensures that your table is reserved for you, even during busy times. The full amount will be credited to you on the day of your visit for your creative session. Remaining amounts will therefore not be refunded.
+ What will you do
First, select one or more ceramic pieces from our range. You have two hours to paint the pieces you have selected. The price is indicated on the bottom of each item and includes studio time, use of all tools, unlimited paints, glazing, and firing. After a brief introduction to the paints and techniques, you are free to paint creatively. We can’t wait to see your creations!
+ How it works
1 session = 2 hours. After your visit, we will glaze your pieces with a transparent glaze and fire them at 1040 °C. One week later, you can pick up your finished ceramic pieces at the studio.
Location
Altgasse 20, 1130 Vienna
Prices
Prices vary depending on the piece, starting from €5.90 up to €64.90.
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.
Important: Rescheduling requests via email, phone or in person cannot be accepted and are therefore invalid.
If the rescheduling and cancellation deadline (for paid bookings) has already passed, you are welcome to privately pass your spot on to friends or acquaintances, as tickets are not tied to a specific person. This allows you to give them a lovely experience and ensures that reserved spots do not remain unused if the rescheduling deadline has already passed.
Please note that gift cards for paid bookings can only be redeemed online, and we cannot refund you on site afterward for advance payments.
If you have made a free ceramic painting booking (under 5 people) and would like to pay with a gift card, you can bring it with you and the respective piece price will be deducted from your gift card on site.
To protect your clothing, we provide aprons on site. If some paint still gets onto your clothes, don’t worry, it can be easily washed out.
Your painted ceramic pieces will remain on our pickup shelf for up to one month after your visit before being sorted into boxes due to space limitations. Until that point, we are responsible for the completeness and condition of the pieces; afterward, we can no longer guarantee this.
Every year before Christmas, we donate all remaining pieces that have stayed with us for more than one year to “Aktion Leben.” Since we started this initiative two years ago, we know that there are people there who truly appreciate handmade ceramics for personal use or as gifts. The pieces find new loving homes. :)
