Wine & Clay (16+)

Booking Details

Enjoy your creative time in our air-conditioned studio! ❄️

Our most popular courses by far are our Wine & Clay sessions. You can probably guess why… cheers! Every week we explore a new local wine that perfectly matches the taste of wine lovers. Sometimes you’ll even get to meet the winemaker during the class!

To make the experience even better, we’ve improved the way we teach: instead of one big group introduction, each table now gets a personal introduction from one of our instructors. This way, you can hear everything clearly, ask questions, and start off feeling more relaxed.

Would you like to enjoy a private Wine & Clay session just with your friends? You can book your preferred date directly here! Also available as a gift card.

FAQ:

Which forms are possible in this course?

With the handbuilding technique mainly medium-sized vessels such as bowls, cups, vases or decorative objects can be formed. The pieces can be round, oval, square or organic.

Can I make a plate in this course?

In this course we work with the handbuilding technique, which is mainly suitable for medium-sized vessels. Since plates require a different approach – the slab technique – they are not planned in this course.

Which wine do you serve?

At the moment we offer a Grüner Veltliner from our long-time partner “Weingut Böheim”.

My companion drinks beer, but I drink wine. How should we book?

In this case, please book one slot for Beer & Clay and one for Wine & Clay at the same time. This makes it easier for us to plan the drinks. You can of course still sit together. Please arrive a few minutes earlier so you can easily choose seats next to each other.

How can I reschedule my course?

You may reschedule your course once up to 24 hours before the course begins via the button “Reschedule, cancel or request a refund” in your course confirmation email. Cancellations are possible up to 24 hours after receiving the booking confirmation via the same button.

What if I cannot attend my course date?

Since tickets are not tied to a specific person, you are welcome to privately pass them on to friends or acquaintances. This way you can give them a wonderful experience and ensure that reserved spots do not remain unused.
In the case of a rescheduling or cancellation, you will find the corresponding instructions under the first question “How can I reschedule my course?”
Important: Rescheduling requests via email, phone or in person cannot be accepted and are therefore invalid.

Do I need prior experience to participate in the courses?

No, this is not necessary. All our courses are suitable for beginners. Advanced courses are labelled accordingly.

How can I book a course?

All courses & offers can only be booked online directly via our website. The calendar under each course description shows you on which days and how many spots are available for booking. Choose your preferred date and number of participants and click “Book Now.” This adds the booking to your cart, and in the next step you can complete the payment process.

How do I book a course if I have a gift card?

The code can be entered during checkout after adding a booking and is valid for both locations. If you have multiple voucher codes, you can enter and redeem them one after another.

What is the difference between pottery and hand-building/modeling courses?

When working with clay, there are generally two different approaches:
On the one hand, there is wheel throwing, where pieces are created on the electric pottery wheel. The resulting objects are characteristically round, symmetrical and thin. On the other hand, there is modeling and shaping clay by hand at the worktable. This includes coiling, pinch technique and slab technique. Here you are not bound to the round base shape created by the wheel and can freely express your creativity.

What should I bring to the course?

A portion of good mood :) We have everything else at the studio!

However, shorter nails – and for pottery wheel courses also a hair tie for longer hair as well as clothes that may get a little dirty – are an advantage. If despite the aprons some clay or glaze gets onto your clothing, don’t worry, both can be easily washed out.

When can I pick up my finished pieces & what happens if I forget them?

Your ceramics from pottery and modeling courses are ready for pickup from 3 weeks after the last course day. If you cannot come in person, the person picking them up must be able to show a photo of your pieces.

We keep already glazed course pieces in our pickup shelves for 3 months. After that, due to space limitations, they are sorted into monthly boxes where we can no longer guarantee completeness or condition. Every year before Christmas, we donate all remaining pieces that have been with us for more than one year to “Aktion Leben” to bring joy to someone else. :)

Can I have my pieces shipped home?

We are happy to ship your masterpieces by Austrian post, no matter where you are located within the EU. Shipping outside the EU is not possible. Fees of Austrian Post:
Shipping within Austria (1–3 pieces*): €7.17
Shipping to Germany (1–3 pieces*): €17.35
Shipping within the EU (1–3 pieces*): €21.00

An additional packaging & service fee of €9.50 applies per package, as we wrap each piece by hand and personally drop it off at the post office to ensure it arrives safely :)
Medium-sized pieces such as cups, bowls, plates, small vases. Large pieces such as vases, jugs, etc. are calculated as 2 medium-sized pieces.

Are my pieces dishwasher safe?

Your pieces are made of stoneware clay. They are fired at 1200°C, making them vitrified and both dishwasher safe and microwave safe.

I'm not happy with how the glaze turned out on my piece. Is it possible to reglaze it, or receive a refund or reimbursement?

We understand that glaze results can sometimes be surprising, but reglazing high-temperature fired pieces is not possible, and we do not offer reglazing or deglazing services.

Glazing in pottery is an inherently variable process and cannot be fully controlled or replicated exactly. Even when the same glaze, clay body, and firing schedule are used, the final outcome can differ from piece to piece. Many factors influence the result, including kiln placement, temperature fluctuations during firing, glaze thickness, how the glaze interacts with the clay, and the overall kiln atmosphere. These variables are a natural part of working with handmade ceramics.

Because of this unpredictability, glaze appearance is not considered a defect. For this reason, we do not offer refunds, reimbursements or remakes based on glaze results or personal preference.
