A HOLIDAY FROM EVERYDAY LIFE
An intensive 4-days-experience: Throwing on the potter's wheel
The summer pottery course for everyone who wants to learn.
Our 4-days-SUMMER-course – each day 4,5 hours – at the potter's wheel offers beginners the unique opportunity to learn pottery on the potter's wheel 4 days long and gain practical experience during one intensive week.
After a short introduction, you will immediately sit down at the potter's wheel in this pottery course.
In Level 1 you will learn how to center clay and throw a vessel.
To "open the clay" and "pull up" walls you will learn as well. You will learn how to trim your pieces and coloring with engobes .
In this course together with a maximum of six people you get intensive guidance while throwing on the wheel by two trainers to create five to eight simple vessels, such as cups and bowls, on the potter's wheel. Attaching handles is also possible.
The price includes firing of the finished products as well as glazing with a transparent glaze. There will be no additional costs .
Tuesday to Friday
12.00 a.m. – 4.30 p.m.
During two days you will be familiarized with the potter´s wheel and you will turn vessels.
On the the other two days you will trim the vessels. Trimming the vessels means refining and perfecting their shape. The vessels are then decorated with slip. Slip is colored clay that is applied to the vessel with a brush while it is still leather-hard.
After the first firing process (= bisque firing), we glaze your creations with a transparent glaze for you.
