Each offering is designed to build genuine skill and understanding. We cap class sizes to ensure individual attention, and materials are included in all pricing.

Beginner's Wheel Throwing

Six sessions spanning three weeks, meeting twice weekly for three hours each. You'll learn centering, opening, pulling walls, and basic shaping. By the final session, you'll create functional pieces: bowls, cylinders, plates. All work is fired and glazed at no additional cost.

Class size limited to six participants. Materials, tools, and firing included.

€287.50

Hand-Building Techniques

Five sessions exploring construction methods that don't require a wheel. Pinch pots, coil building, slab work, and texture creation. Ideal for those interested in sculptural forms or who prefer a slower, more contemplative pace than wheel work demands.

Maximum five students per session. Includes all materials and one glaze firing.

€265.00

Glaze Chemistry Workshop

A focused weekend intensive on understanding glazes beyond surface aesthetics. Mix base glazes, create colorant tests, learn about flux behavior and melting temperatures. You'll leave with documented formulas and an understanding of how to modify existing recipes.

Limited to four participants. Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5pm.

€195.00

Advanced Throwing Masterclass

For those with solid fundamentals seeking to expand their range. Tackle challenging forms: teapots with fitted lids, bottles with narrow necks, large vessels requiring multiple sections. Emphasis on precision, consistency, and problem-solving when forms resist your intentions.

Four students maximum. Eight sessions over four weeks. Prerequisite: ability to consistently center and throw cylinders.

€425.00

Custom Commission Work

We create bespoke ceramic pieces for residential and commercial spaces. Dinnerware sets, architectural tiles, sculptural installations, functional objects designed to your specifications. The process begins with consultation to understand context, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements.

Timelines vary based on complexity and kiln schedules. Minimum eight weeks from approval to delivery. Starting price reflects basic dinnerware sets; larger installations priced individually.

€850.00 starting price

Studio Membership

Unlimited access to workspace, equipment, wheels, hand-building tools, and basic materials. Members can work independently, fire their own pieces, and develop long-term projects. Studio hours are Monday through Saturday, 9am to 8pm.

Includes 20kg of clay monthly and two kiln firings. Additional materials available for purchase. Three-month minimum commitment.

€165.00 per month

What's Included

All workshop prices include materials, tool use, and firing. You don't need to bring anything except curiosity and willingness to get your hands dirty. We provide aprons, but wear clothes you don't mind staining with iron oxide or cobalt.

Class schedules are posted quarterly. Some sessions fill quickly, particularly the advanced throwing class and glaze chemistry workshop. We maintain a waiting list when courses reach capacity.

Cancellation Policy

Full refunds available up to two weeks before a course begins. After that point, we can transfer your registration to a future session or offer 50% credit toward studio membership or commission work.

Individual session makeups are not available for multi-week courses, but we provide detailed notes if you miss a class due to illness or emergency.
