Bowls & plates – big & small
Our 4-days-Summer-Course – each day 4,5 hours – on the potter´s wheel offers beginners AND advanced (Intermediate) the unique opportunity 4 days long to take pottery on the potter's wheel to the next level.
Shapes that we are focusing on: bowls and plates. Both require more intensive dealing with when it comes to the size and stability of these types of vessels.
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. In Level 2 you will learn Coning and centering up to 1 kg of clay and how particularly wide vessels – plates – are made.
To "open the clay" and "pull up" walls you will learn as well or you will expand your knowledge. 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 throw up to 8 bowl or plates on the potter´s wheel.
In der Kursgebühr sind die Materialkosten und das Brennen und Glasieren mit einer transparenten Glasur inbegriffen.

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. We'll focus particularly on the challenges of creating bowls and plates.
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.
