1 or 2 Day Pottery Workshop

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

It is a 2-DAY Workshop, yet you can decide to book only one of the days and go through only part of the learning process with us. In case you only book DAY 1, your creation will be fired and glazed for you.

DAY 1 - HAND-BUILDING

It will be all about hand-building, so no throwing wheel involved. We will start with a 40 min lecture introducing you to different types of clay, different stages of drying and firing, ways of preparing it and ways of shaping it into a final piece. Then we will get right into practice and get your hands dirty. Each participant will get a chance to create their own ceramic object shaped according to their personal master plan.

DAY 2 - RAW GLAZING

This session is fully devoted to bringing gloss and texture into your ceramic object. There are several glazing techniques in pottery, but in the current session we will fully focus on raw natural glazing – covering your object with a combination of chemical natural and locally collected elements that turn into glass-like plating after firing. We will start with a 40 min lecture, introducing you to the different techniques and possibilities of glazing. Once all the basic rules are shared, you will get down to glazing your ceramic object according to your desired plan, under an attentive eye of your instructor.
