Share a moment of disconnection and letting go, in a warm atmosphere!

Sandrine invites you to learn the art of pottery on the wheel during a 3-hour workshop where you will shape your own mug by hand.

As soon as you arrive, you will have the chance to discover the workshop where you will learn the basics of ceramics, the creative process, and the techniques used to create your two unique pieces on the pottery wheel. A drink will also be served for you to enjoy a relaxing moment during the workshop.

You will be guided step by step for a gentle discovery. You will learn how to prepare the clay and work with stoneware; several attempts will be necessary before giving your cups or flowerpots the perfect shape!

Once the finishing touches are done, you will be asked to clean up the materials. You will entrust your creation to the ceramicist who will take care of drying, firing, and glazing. You will arrange the details for picking up your piece directly with the artist.

Superbe expérience lors de l'initiation au tour de potier. Bien préparée, Sandrine prend bien le temps de vous accompagner à chaque étape. J'ai même pu réalisé ma deuxième pièce en autonomie. 🥰 Très agréable. Encore merci Sandrine, et merci pour la papote. C'était très sympa.

Superbe découverte..Sandrine explique très bien les gestes mais nous laisse 1 certaine liberté de création même si c'est la première fois.. Hâte de voir quand c'est cuit et émaillé.. Merci pour ce magnifique partage de connaissances et tour de main..

Un super atelier ! Sandrine est passionnée, pédagogue et à l'écoute, et nous a expliqué avec patience et bienveillance comment utiliser le tour de potier. J'ai beaucoup aimé également le café offert en début de séance, l'occasion pour échanger avec Sandrine sur son parcours et sa passion. Je recommande vivement !

An amazing immersion into the world of pottery! Sandrine's passion for ceramics truly shines through. Her unique blend of tradition and originality is best showcased in her welcoming workshop, skillfully guiding beginners like myself to shape our own mugs. Seeing the creative process behind ceramics was truly inspiring. Can't wait to pick up my glazed piece and try this therapeutic craft again!
