HANDBUILDING WORKSHOP
ONE SESSIONS

2 hour pottery workshop:

In the handbuilding-workshop, you’ll be taught the fundamental techniques you need to know to make your own pottery by just using your hands. Be it functional ceramics such as cups, mugs, bowls, plates or free sculptural forms. You’re free to work on your own ideas, or I can help you develop them.
The workshop starts by introducing the first technique, which will allow you to get comfortable with clay.
From there on, we will continue with more advanced techniques. If you’d like to join the open studio in the future it is advised to participate in a handbuilding-workshop before to get introduced to the studio, how to work with clay and the do’s and don’ts about making pottery.

The workshop consists of one session. It lasts 2,5 hours, you’ll make your creation(s) out of clay. After the session, you’ll decide which colours your pieces should be glazed in. I’ll take care of the drying process, bisque-fire your pieces, glaze them and fire them again.
I fire up to 1.240°C, so your work is dishwasher safe and suitable for use as tableware. Approximately 2-3 weeks later, your work will be ready for you to pick up at the studio. You can also get them sent to you for a small shipping fee.

Including:
clay, tool usage, drinks, glazing service and glaze, bisque- and glaze firing. You can create up to 4 pieces.

Info:
The workshop can only take place with a minimum of three people. You can book the workshop by adding it to your basket. We’ll then find a suitible date and either you bring your friends to join the workshop, and/or I’ll make it public and see who else would like to join.

Where:
The workshop takes place in the MATE Ceramics studio: Rua do Fonanário 1, 2640-401 Achada-Mafra, Portugal.
The studio is located just 6 minutes from Ericeira towards the inland by car. There is also a bus station in front of the studio on the main street. I’ll send you location instructions after booking as the studio is located on a backroad, not visible from the outside.

All workshops are held in English by default but can be translated in German.
