SUMMERCLASS Throwing – a whole teaset – 4 days
Homemade at the wheel – a tea service for two people
A teapot, two cups and two saucers
Our 4-days-SUMMER-course – each day 4,5 hours – at the potter's wheel offers advanced (intermediate) and even new beginners the unique opportunity to take pottery to the next level for a whole week. The focus is on the following shapes: A teapot, two cups and two saucers. A milk jug, a sugar bowl, or a cookie plate are also possible.
After a short introduction, you will immediately sit down at the potter's wheel in this pottery course.
In Level 2 you will learn Coning and centering of up to 1 kg of clay and how to make particularly wide vessels such as plates. Centering 500g of clay should already be learned and no longer pose a big problem for you. But attending a Level 1 course in our studio is not required.
To "open the clay" and "pull up" walls will also be shown and practiced here again, or your knowledge will be expanded. We throw a snout „off the hump“. You learn how to make sure to throw a lid that fits . You will trim your pieces, handle and snout will be added and coloring with engobes you will learn as well.
In this course together with a maximum of five people you get intensive guidance while throwing on the wheel by two trainers to make a whole teaset on the potter´s wheel.
The price includes firing and glazing the finished products with a transparent glaze. If you do not want a colored glaze, then there will be no additional costs.
Tuesday to Friday
12.00 a.m. – 4.30 p.m.
During two days You'll become familiar with the potter's wheel, learn how to center clay using coning up to 1 kg, break it open, form walls, and throw vessels. You will be throwing a teapot with a lid, two cups and two saucers, or small plates. We throw a spout for your teapot "off the hump."
On the the other two days you will trim the vessels. Trimming the vessels means refining and perfecting their shape. You will also learn how to attach a snout, handles and grips. 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.
