The workshop in detail

  • 10 to 25 participants
  • 15 years min.
  • Please note! This workshop can only be booked for groups of 10 or more or for a minimum amount of €900.

    Angelique offers a unique opportunity to explore the art of pottery through her two-and-a-half-hour -site workshop, hosted at the venue of your choice. This workshop brings the traditionally stationary potter's wheel, weighing 75kg, directly to the participants. This mobility is a rare feature in the realm of ceramics, making Angelique's workshop an exceptional experience.

    Participants will be immersed in the world of ceramics, gaining valuable insights and hands-on experience. The workshop is structured to allow each individual to craft two distinct bowls, employing different techniques. The first bowl will be shaped on the potter's wheel, offering a chance to engage with this classic tool in a dynamic setting. The second bowl will be crafted using the modelling technique, allowing for a more freeform and sculptural approach to pottery.

    The raw clay provided serves as a blank canvas, inviting participants to mould their unique creations. Following the workshop, there is an option for Angelique to professionally bake and glaze the crafted items. Participants can later collect their finished pieces from Angelique's workshop. This visit not only allows them to retrieve their creations but also offers a glimpse into Angelique's professional environment and her artistic process.

    Meet Angelique

    Ceramic Artist

    Angelique Homberg, a talented ceramist born in 1967 and based in Amsterdam, is a true visionary in the world of ceramics. Having graduated from the prestigious Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam with a specialisation in Ceramics Design, Angelique has honed her craft and developed a unique approach to her art.

    Working primarily on a potter's wheel, Angelique's creative process is a fascinating blend of skill and intuition. Rather than sketching on paper, she allows the clay to guide her hands, focusing on the form and embracing the craft of turning. Her aim is to push the limits of shape, finding the delicate balance between a visually captivating piece and one that retains its utilitarian purpose.

    Beyond her personal creations, Angelique Homberg possesses an extensive background in restoration work. She has breathed new life into a diverse range of objects, from broken sculptures to tile walls, showcasing her ability to revive and reimagine existing forms. Furthermore, Angelique welcomes collaborative projects, eagerly working with clients to bring their unique ideas and sketches to life.

    But Angelique's artistic journey doesn't stop there. She is also a passionate teacher, offering workshops that cover various aspects of pottery, sculpting, and painted dishware. In her intimate studio located in the heart of Amsterdam, small groups have the opportunity to delve into the world of ceramics under her expert guidance. Participants not only learn the techniques and skills necessary to create their own masterpieces but also have the chance to return and glaze their pottery or sculpture, adding a personal touch and enhancing the final result.

    For those seeking a one-of-a-kind experience, Angelique hosts special events where participants can paint on hand-thrown dishware. Each stroke of the brush becomes a moment of self-expression, resulting in a unique piece that showcases both the individual's artistic style and Angelique's expert glazing techniques.
