Ceramics handbuilding workshop in Haarlem or on location

During this 2.5‑hour introductory ceramics workshop, you’ll get acquainted with the basics of handbuilding. You’ll work with clay yourself and learn several handbuilding techniques to create a unique ceramic piece. This workshop is perfect for beginners who want to explore ceramics and handbuilding in an accessible, relaxed way.

You choose exactly what you want to make: a small bowl, cup, altar piece, vase… or something that emerges spontaneously. I guide you step by step, and if you like, you can decorate your piece right away using underglaze. We have some examples available, but it’s always helpful to browse online beforehand to gather inspiration. After the workshop, I take care of firing everything and finishing it with a beautiful transparent or single‑color glaze.

This workshop includes:

• Workshop guidance
• Clay (max 2 items, max 20×20 cm per item)
• All materials and tools
• Two firing rounds
• …and of course coffee/tea with something tasty

After about three weeks, your piece will be ready. You can pick it up, or we can ship it to you for the cost of postage.
