2 hours of discovery with Clara

Knowledge in ceramics

Your beautifully modelled ceramic and a friendly drink

The workshop in detail

  • 2h
  • 15 years min.
  • 4 to 6 participants
  • Up to 16 people for a privatization
  • Learn to work with clay while enjoying an aperitif in the company of Clara!

    This passionate ceramic artist will be delighted to welcome you for a relaxing and creative workshop at the end of the day. The goal? To create a unique object according to your tastes and desires: a plate or bowl, a vase, a candle holder, or even sunglasses... Anything is possible! Feel free to send your ideas to the artist via email before the workshop date so she can confirm their feasibility. The session will also include a delicious aperitif to share, making you feel like you're on a terrace!

    After introductions and once the drinks are served, you will gather around Clara for an explanation of different pottery techniques: slab building, coiling, and pinching. Then it's your turn to play, with Italian disco playing in the background!

    Clara will be available to guide you throughout the creative process and answer any questions you may have. You will witness your piece gradually taking shape under your fingertips, while enjoying breaks for snacking and engaging with fellow participants.

    Once your creation is complete, you will entrust it to the artist, who will take care of drying, firing, and glazing. You will arrange the details of retrieving your piece directly with her (within about ten days).

    You will leave with the joy of having discovered the secrets of pottery while having fun and, most importantly, indulging yourself!

    Workshop location

    Clara's workshop is located in the heart of the Saint-Gilles district, a few steps from the Porte de Hal metro station.

    This place is accessible to people with reduced mobility.

    Practical information

    During this workshop, the artist will provide you with a drink and snacks.

    To participate in this workshop, please plan to wear comfortable clothing suitable for the practice and cleaning at the end of the session. It is also advisable to have short nails and tied-up hair. If possible, consider bringing your own apron.

    Please note that there is a risk of breakage during the firing process. These are inherent uncertainties of the craft, and the artisan cannot be held responsible.
