Enter the wonderful world of ceramics with Anna and discover the plate-making technique formaking your own nesting plates.
You will first get acquainted with the clay, stoneware, and will move on to learn the technique of
shaping the plate.
This technique consists of spreading the clay out like a pie crust. Once this step is completed, you will
cut out the different pieces that will make up your plates. After letting the plates firm up,
you will shape and assemble them to create your final works of art.
Anna will then fire and glaze your plates. You can then return to the workshop to pick up your creations a few
weeks later, when the firing has been finished.
This workshop is available in several languages simultaneously. The craftsman will change the language of
the workshop based on the participants present.

Anna is originally from the West of France and studied art at Estienne, Paris, where she specialised in typography. She then chose to perfect her motion design skills at the Gobelins, l'école de l'image.
She then moved to Brussels where she lived for 8 years, working in graphic design, brand concepts, visual identity and logotype creation, as a freelance designer.
After a few years, she decided to fly to North America for a road trip across the country ending at Vancouver. But it was in Toronto that she began working as a graphic designer for a year. There, she discovered ceramics, and it turned from a hobby into a real passion!
She then took several courses in Toronto and Montreal with experienced ceramists and then decided to return to Brussels, her adoptive city. Anna took things further and enrolled at the Academy of Arts in Brussels to hone her skills.
She now wants to teach others about what she experienced in Canada, about discovering clay as a material, the experience of calmness and feeling at peace with yourself as you work, the kind of creativity that you can develop, a passion that you can pass on to others.
She can't wait to welcome you to her pleasant, cosy workshop to teach you how to model stoneware and porcelain. Meet her!
My friend and I had a nice time during the workship. It was my first time trying ceramics and it was a very positive experince. Anna helped us learn about the world of ceramics. She provided all necessary information and gave very useful tips during the plate-making. I very much recommend this experience.

Très chouette atelier pour découvrir la poterie. Anna est très sympathique. Nous avons pu créé de belles pièces !
Dommage que l'on soit très limité dans ce que l'on peut faire...
