Throw Together
Private Group Wheel-Throwing Class
€75 p.P. · 2.5 hours · 3-5 people
Spend a few creative hours at the wheel with your friends, family or colleagues. This private session is designed for beginners, so no previous experience is needed! I’ll guide you through the basics of wheel throwing step by step, from preparing the clay to centering, opening and pulling up your first vessel. Each person can work with the wheel at their own pace and create their own pieces during the session. One piece per person is included in the price and will be trimmed, glazed and fired by me after the class. If you’d like to keep more than one piece, additional pieces can be finished, glazed and fired for €15 each.
What’s included:
2.5-hour private wheel-throwing session
All clay and studio materials
Guidance throughout the session
One finished, glazed and fired piece per person
Additional pieces: €15 each
No previous experience necessary
Your finished pieces will be glazed and fired after the class and can be collected once they’re ready. As the process of making, drying and firing takes some time, I’ll let you know when your pieces are ready for collection.
One-on-One on the Wheel
Solo Wheel-Throwing Session
€109 · 2 hours · 1 person

Make by Hand
Private Handbuilding Event
€65 p.P. · 2 hours · 4–10 people
Make something with your hands and spend a couple of relaxed, creative hours together. This private handbuilding session is suitable for complete beginners, and I’ll introduce you to simple ceramic techniques that allow you to shape and build your own pieces without a pottery wheel.
Depending on the group and what you’d like to make, we can explore techniques such as pinching, coiling or slab building. I’ll guide you through the process, while leaving plenty of room for your own ideas and creativity.
One piece per person is included in the price and will be glazed and fired by me after the event. If you’d like to have additional pieces finished, glazed and fired, these can be added for €15 each.

Good to Know
-
Wear comfortable clothes that can get a little messy. Aprons are provided by the studio, so you don’t need to bring your own. Closed-toe shoes are recommended, and long nails can make wheel throwing a little more challenging.
-
Your booked session time includes cleaning your workspace. We’ll make sure to leave the studio clean and ready for the next makers, so please keep this in mind when planning your time.
-
You won’t be taking your ceramics home on the day of the session. After your class, I’ll take care of the necessary finishing, glazing and firing of your included piece(s).
Your ceramics are usually ready for collection within 3-4 weeks, depending on drying and firing schedules. I’ll get in touch as soon as they’re ready.
-
Finished pieces will be kept for 2 months after they’re ready for collection. After this period, uncollected pieces will be placed in my “Zu Verschenken” box.
If you’re unable to collect your pieces in person, shipping is possible. Packaging and shipping costs will be charged to the participant and need to be paid before the pieces are sent.
-
You’re welcome to make more than the one included piece during your session. Additional pieces can be trimmed, glazed and fired for €15 per piece.
-
Dogs are always welcome at my classes. My own dog, Linka, might even lend a paw from time to time ;)
