Learn to work with clay while enjoying an aperitif in the company of Clara!
This passionate ceramic artist will be delighted to welcome you for a relaxing and creative workshop at the end of the day. The goal? To create a unique object according to your tastes and desires: a plate or bowl, a vase, a candle holder, or even sunglasses... Anything is possible! Feel free to send your ideas to the artist via email before the workshop date so she can confirm their feasibility. The session will also include a delicious aperitif to share, making you feel like you're on a terrace!
After introductions and once the drinks are served, you will gather around Clara for an explanation of different pottery techniques: slab building, coiling, and pinching. Then it's your turn to play, with Italian disco playing in the background!
Clara will be available to guide you throughout the creative process and answer any questions you may have. You will witness your piece gradually taking shape under your fingertips, while enjoying breaks for snacking and engaging with fellow participants.
Once your creation is complete, you will entrust it to the artist, who will take care of drying, firing, and glazing. You will arrange the details of retrieving your piece directly with her (within about ten days).
You will leave with the joy of having discovered the secrets of pottery while having fun and, most importantly, indulging yourself!

Practical information
During this workshop, the artist will provide you with a drink and snacks.
To participate in this workshop, please plan to wear comfortable clothing suitable for the practice and cleaning at the end of the session. It is also advisable to have short nails and tied-up hair. If possible, consider bringing your own apron.
Please note that there is a risk of breakage during the firing process. These are inherent uncertainties of the craft, and the artisan cannot be held responsible.
Clara was initially a project manager for a Belgian magazine and used to do ceramics in her spare time, until it became a real passion and she decided to start her own business!
She is responsible for a project involving unique ceramic pieces, produced in a workshop in Saint-Gilles that specialises in flowers and decorative pieces. Two evenings a week, the shop and the workshop merge to welcome beginners and those curious about ceramics, for drinks accompanied by an introduction to ceramics, or to create special pieces.
Ceramic modelling is her specialty. She is known for her colourful creations! In her store, she showcases her ceramics, but also the creations of other Brussels-based artists and artisans!Ā
What she wants most of all is to share her passion with you, through her workshops! She welcomes you into a beautiful space, which she shares with Elodie - a very talented florist! Meet them inside their charming and colourful creative universe!
