Get in touch with clay and learn basic handbuilding techniques that people have used for centuries. Working with clay is a slow and mindful process, where you shape each piece by hand and connect with the natural material.
During this workshop, we will explore the “pinch pot” technique to create cups, mugs, or smaller items from clay. You will learn how to form, shape, and refine your piece step by step.
On Friday, a pit firing will be organised to fire all the pottery made during the workshop. This primitive firing method gives each piece a unique and earthy finish.
All those involved in the pottery workshops will need to help a bit with the firing!
Note: On the last evening we plan to do a pit firing will be organized to fire all pottery. If there is a fire regulation preventing this we will discuss other idea’s & options for firing your finished pieces, either with Laura in her studio for a fee, or you take them to a pottery studio!
Materials Fee: There will be a small materials fee about 5-10€ to be paid directly to Laura at the festival.
Skill Level/Prerequisite’s: Open to All Levels!
Minimum age: 6 or 7 years old (requires parent to be with them)
Morning workshops start after our morning circle around 9:30 am and end at 1pm.
Laura's speaks English, German & Dutch.
If language is a barrier we are confident you will learn even if you speak or understand broken English. So much of the learning depends on seeing, feeling, and hearing the sounds as well.
IMPORTANT- Festival Tickets are booked separately and in addition to workshops. Please be sure you have booked your ticket before booking workshops!
