Ceramic studio
Get your creative side out and learn something new, join a Clay workshop by yourself or with your friends and family.
In my studio, I give different clay workshops for adults and kids.
Every month you can see online the workshops I offer.
The most popular workshop is the Hand building clay workshop, where you will learn about hand-building techniques (forming, slabbing, pinching). Then, each one will create their object and decorate it with colors. When the project is finished, you will leave it in my studio so it can get dry. Finally, your project will be dipped in clear glaze, fired in my kiln, and will be ready for pickup after two weeks.
Other workshops I give:
Slip casting workshop
Nerikomi workshop
Woven Clay
Slabbing
painting on tile workshop and more.
-The workshops are in English.

-For all levels, no experience is necessary. The workshop is intended for beginners but is also suitable for the more experienced.
