It’s not just the tone that makes the music, we at Fresh Ceramics love the tranquility of our earth-colored clay, but every now and then we also need a little funk. That’s why we celebrate the beauty of colorful clay with you every Saturday, because variety is the spice of our lives. So escape the monotony of everyday life, mix, marble and combine your favorite colors to create the unique ceramics of your dreams. To help you let your inspiration flow, our professional team in Neubau and Hietzing will not only provide you with ceramic expertise, but will also pour you wine! So don’t hesitate and let colors and wine pamper your senses.

+ What you will do
In this course, you will be introduced to the technique of hand modeling. Under the guidance of our unbeatable staff, you will create your own individual ceramic with colorful clay applications. Of course, it is up to you to decide exactly what your dream ceramic looks like. It could be a cup with a fresh strawberry relief, or maybe a vase with lots of little leaves that will never wilt. You also can use our large collection of colorful engobs (different colors of slip of clay) to paint you piece. The course includes a ceramic piece that, after completion and drying, is first fired at 960°C and then, after glazing (transparent), at 1200°C. If you are particularly motivated, you can create another piece for an additional 12 (glaze and firing included). The ceramics are of course food-safe, dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

+ Behind the Scenes
After you’re done working on your piece, we make sure the conditions are right for your piece to dry properly – after a day or two, we turn it upside down and write your initials on it. Depending on the thickness of your creation, it will take 3-10 days to dry completely. Once it’s dry, we fire it at 960 degrees Celsius – reaching the right temperature and cooling takes about 28 hours. After the initial “raw” firing, we dip your piece in transparent glaze and place it in the kiln again – this time to fire at 1220 degrees Celsius. After another 36 hours, your piece is beautiful, shiny, very durable and fully functional. You can now use it every day, put it in the dishwasher and be proud of yourself :)
