Service Description

Teacher and studio founder Camille welcomes you for this in hands-on pottery course over 2 holiday week days l allowing you to dive deep into clay. PROGRAM: The course is playful and informative to get acquainted with the fundamental steps of the hand-building process. Through different exercises you will learn about the evolving textures of clay, how to work with them, how to assemble them with sticking slip. You will discover 3 ancestral hand-building techniques : pinching, coiling and slabbing and make a pottery vessel out of each, then learn to 'sculpt' them at "leather hard" texture for refined details and uniqueness. The course shall be given in English. Please note this course does not include the potter's-wheel technique. We propose a separate intro course for this approach and recommend it after this hand-building course. PRICE: * Includes all the material and the firings (cooking of clay) for your hand-built vessels made during the weekend *The time to glaze your work is not included in the weekend fee (see below under 'Glazing' chapter) SMALL GROUP: The intro course welcomes maximum 8 pairs of hands. AFTER THE COURSE: Completing this course means you are welcome to become part of our studio member's community, and continue practicing to hand-build your ceramic projects at your own rhythm during our weekly member sessions with a Membership Pass (for more info see our website menu). Please note that you cannot take your pieces home at the end of the weekend ! The ceramic process has several steps, so patience is a real virtue in ceramics ;) GLAZING: 10 or so days after the course, your work will have been fired at 950° and be ready to glaze. Here are 3 options : *If you have not yet glazed in our studio, you may sign-up to one of our Glazing Intro Classes (more info on our "Introduction Courses" menu'). *If you have already been initiated to how to glaze in our studio, you may book yourself a table during a Member Session (with or without a Membership Pass). * We can glaze your work for you in a glossy transparent glaze for 5€/piece TERMS AND CONDITIONS : **Please ensure you can attend all 2 dates of the course as it is a process.
