Wine & Clay Team-Building
Booking Details
What could be better for creative work than a glass of wine? Exactly—nothing!
We think so too, which is why our Wine and Clay team-building sessions are by far our most popular courses. Dive into the world of ceramics, create something unique as a group, and strengthen your team spirit.
The special thing about our Wine and Clay team-building events is that you make your own unique ceramic pieces, which you can then use at home or in the office, allowing you to admire your creativity every day.
+ Group size
In Hietzing, we can host up to 10 people at one large table. If you don’t mind spreading out over several smaller tables, we can welcome an additional 8 to 10 guests. For larger groups, our Neubau studio offers space for up to 30 participants across three large tables, creating a relaxed and social setting.

+ Duration – 2.5 hours
+ What you will do
In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of hand-building and create your own fully functional piece of tableware. Most participants choose to make a cereal bowl, but other small objects are also possible.
You’ll also experiment with engobes, special underglaze colors that can be applied directly to the raw clay. This gives you endless possibilities to personalize your piece with flowers, patterns, vegetables, or abstract designs.
We will fire, glaze, and finish your creations for you, so they are fully functional and safe for the dishwasher and microwave.
+ No experience needed
This workshop is perfect for beginners.
+ Wine & Clay / Pottery Class Combo
You can combine your Wine & Clay team-building event with one of our popular pottery classes, such as our pottery wheel class. This will make your pottery experience complete!
+ Course costs
€ 960 for groups of up to 10 people
Each additional person: + € 96
Plus an event fee depending on the group size.
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.
On the one hand, there is wheel throwing, where pieces are created on an electric pottery wheel. The objects created this way are characteristically round, symmetrical, and thin. On the other hand, there is hand-building and shaping the clay by hand at the worktable. This includes coil building, pinch technique, and slab building. Here, you are not bound to the round base shape created by a wheel and can let your creativity run free.
However, shorter nails – as well as clothing that can get a little dirty – are an advantage. If some clay or glaze gets on your clothes despite the aprons, don’t worry, both can easily be washed out.
If you would like to consume alcohol, you can purchase one of our 0.7 l "Wine & Clay" bottles for €25.00 or a 0.2 l bottle for €5.20 on-site.
We keep already glazed course pieces on our pickup shelves for 3 months. After that, due to space limitations, they are sorted into monthly boxes in which we can no longer guarantee the completeness or condition of the pieces. Every year before Christmas, we donate all remaining pieces that have stayed with us for more than a year to "Aktion Leben" to bring joy to someone else. :)

* Shipping to Germany (1–3 pieces*): €17.35

Additionally, packaging & service costs of €9.50 apply per package, as we pack each piece by hand and personally bring it to the post office to ensure it arrives safely :)
* medium-sized pieces such as mugs, bowls, plates, small vases. Large pieces such as vases, jugs, etc. are counted as 2 medium-sized pieces.
Glazing in ceramics is inherently a variable process and cannot be fully controlled or exactly reproduced. Even when using the same glaze, the same clay, and the same firing schedule, the final result can vary from piece to piece. Many factors influence the outcome, including placement in the kiln, temperature fluctuations during firing, glaze thickness, the interaction between glaze and clay, as well as the overall kiln atmosphere. These variables are a natural part of working with handmade ceramics.
Due to this unpredictability, the appearance of the glaze is not considered a defect. For this reason, we do not offer refunds, reimbursements, or remakes based on glaze results or personal preferences.
