Discover Dieter's workshop and dive with him into the wonderful world of ceramics!
During this workshop, you will be accompanied at every step, as you will be in a small group (max 3 people).Ā
First, Dieter will give you some theoretical explanations about the clay, the wheel and ceramics in general.
Then, he will teach you how to prepare the clay before setting up the wheel. The preparation of the clay is a particularly important step as it will determine the malleability of the clay on the wheel and its ease of shaping.
Once you are set up on the wheel, you will learn how to centre the clay ball, set up a pin and shape your creations as you go along.
Dieter will guide you through each step of the creation process! Once the workshop is over, Dieter will glaze and fire one of your two pieces (the most beautiful!). You can then pick it up a few weeks later!
This workshop is available in Dutch, French and English. Dieter will adapt the language of the workshop to the participants present. Remember to bring your apron.
Workshop location
Dieter's workshop is located in Brussels and can be reached by metro line 6, Stuyvenbergh stop.
This place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Dieter is a creative person with a love of nature. Beekeeper, ceramist and photographer, he practices all three on a daily basis!Ā
He fell in love with nature when he was younger and it's been a passion ever since. This is why a lot of his personal photographic projects have focused on capturing the beauty of nature, as well as various environmental issues.Ā
His concern for the environment led him to become a beekeeper. Dieter has about thirty hives and loves teaching others about his craft.Ā
More recently, his love of the Earth and its elements led him to the world of ceramics. Being able to create something beautiful from clay fascinates him. And he's more than happy to share his knowledge and expertise with you!
Hele aangename, leuke en rustgevende workshop met een mooi resultaat. Dieter neemt echt de tijd om jou de knepen van het vak te leren. Hij is heel geduldig. Weet wel dat het echt een initiatieworkshop is; laat het op je afkomen. Je zal geen voorbedachte ideeƫn kunnen uitvoeren. Je begint eraan en je zal zelf wel zien waar je eindigt ;-) Na de workshop werkt Dieter de werkjes prachtig af. Ik drink heel graag koffie uit mijn zelfgedraaide kopjes.
Zen and a meditative ambiance. Learnt so many techniques to work the wheel and had fun!
Recommend to anyone who has been wanting to try this for a while!
Thank you Dieter!
Heel leuke ervaring, Dieter is een heel goede leermeester, hij heeft veel geduld, geeft duidelijke uitleg en blijft heel rustig.
Hierdoor kom je op het einde van de les tot een mooi zelf gemaakt kommetje/tas. Nu hoopvol uitkijken naar het resultaat eens alles uit de oven komt.
Zo ontspannend! Super blij dat ik dit samen met mijn zoon kon doen. Goede uitleg van Dieter, wat hulp hier een daar en verder op het gevoel uitproberen. Benieuwd naar mijn theekop en suikerpotje die nu de oven in gaan.
