WORKSHOP FOR GROUPS: Come to this workshop with your colleagues, friends or family and enjoy a unique moment of conviviality 😀.
Dip your hands into the clay and discover the magic of throwing with Karolien, a passionate ceramist! During this friendly group workshop, you'll learn how to create your own unique bowl on the potter's wheel.
After a warm welcome, Karolien will introduce you to the basics of working with clay. You'll be divided into small groups around the five wheels and each group will spend 20 minutes throwing while the others watch, relax in comfortable areas or enjoy music and snacks.
The tour begins with kneading the clay to prepare it before settling into the wheel. Karolien will guide you to centre the clay and show you how to shape it to bring your bowl to life. Step by step your hands will shape the clay and the magic will happen!
After the workshop, your creations will be fired and glazed, ready to be collected a few weeks later. It's a fun, creative experience and the perfect introduction to the art of pottery!

Meet Karolien
Ceramist
Growing up, Karolien had a ceramic artist in her family, from whom she learned to create with clay. An artist, Simon Schoonvliet, saw that she was passionate about making portraits in clay and gave her his toolbox. As a teenager, she was active in the Academy of Temse for ceramics. When she finished secondary school, she chose ceramics in high school. After all this, life took over, she got married and had children and forgot about it.
Only ten years later, she accidentally dropt in the Academy of Hamme and started ceramics again. This time she finished and got her degree. Now she is ready to share her skills on ceramics with you!
Karolien is a patient person, she is good at connecting people en feeling people. She loves to work with adults and children because ceramics is for all ages. Children love to do things with their parents to build strong relationships through fun creative moments.
She can tell you about Japanese energy and Qigong and even has a trapeze room for kids.
Her gorgeous garden, which features a weeping willow, is home to a goat and a goose.
Workshops can be held in the sunny garden if you are lucky!
