Get fully introduced to wheel throwing over three sessions

This workshop runs over 3 sessions hosted over 3 consecutive weeks. The dates in the calendar are the first day of the workshop series. Each session lasts 2 hours, providing ample time for both instruction and hands-on practice.

The workshop begins with an introductory class focused on the foundational aspects of pottery. Participants will engage in the art of throwing bowls and cups, a process that demands both precision and creativity. Anja will introduce participants to the essential techniques, followed by a guided practice session, allowing individuals to apply their newfound skills in a supportive environment.

In the second week, the workshop delves deeper into the intricacies of pottery. This phase is dedicated to trimming pots and the delicate art of turning a foot ring. Additionally, Anja will demonstrate the technique of pulling and attaching handles, a critical skill in pottery that combines functional design with aesthetic appeal.

The final week introduces participants to the world of glazing. This session covers various techniques including the use of wax resist and oxides to create decorative effects. This stage of the workshop not only enhances the participants' technical skills but also encourages their artistic expression, allowing them to imbue their creations with personal flair.

Throughout the workshops, Anja ensures a balanced blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, making this an ideal learning experience for both beginners and those looking to refine their pottery skills. Participants will leave the workshop with a rich understanding of pottery techniques and the ceramic pieces they have made.
