Learn the ancient art of pottery and clay!
This experience will take you through the ancient art of pottery and clay making with your own hands. You will be shown all the steps involved in making a mug starting with raw clay, kneading it and then using the potter's wheel, finishing it, putting on the handle, and finally glazing it. You will try pottering for a couple of hours, getting dirty and having fun with the earth by making your first work using only your hands.
The second work will be made together at the potter's wheel using a few simple tools. The potter will be beside you in creating a truly unique and personal piece of your own. Sometimes our hands surprise us and bring forth unexpected shapes--bowls, vases, cups, saucers or whatever. Seeing and feeling clay take shape in your own hands is a magical experience that you will take with you!
Halfway through the workshop there will be a break with a fresh homemade beverage. Then the potter will introduce you to some techniques for decorating and glazing pottery achieving impressive effects with glazes made by me.
At the end of the workshop you can take your creation with you or let it dry in the workshop. In this case, your creation will be fired twice in the electric kiln, glazed and shipped (the cost of shipping is not included in the experience).
The experience is also suitable for families with children.
