Clay ‘N’ Wine workshop is a unique chance to try two ways of creating ceramics: hand-building and wheel throwing while sipping a glass of wine. Don’t feel like drinking wine? That’s ok! We also offer tea and soft drinks.
This workshop introduce you to Japanese technique in pottery: Neriage. Neriage is done by laminating different colored clays together and throwing them on a wheel to develop a swirling and spiraling effect.
How our workshop work?
🌿Wheel throwing: during this part, you will be shown a simple step-by-step guide on how to approach the pottery wheel and support you in creating your first ever ceramic pot.
🌿Hand building: when you’re not on the wheel, learn how to hand build plates. Find out how to make slabs, join clay using the score and slip technique, how to add texture, decorations and more.
At the end of the class you will have 2 finished works.
Once made, your beautiful handmade clay works will stay with us for firing and clear glazing. You’ll return a few weeks later to collect.
Don’t worry if this is your first experience with clay, as you’ll receive plenty of guidance by 2 teachers and class sizes are kept to a maximum of 10 students. The workshop is held in English.
