Design and decorate your porcelain and stoneware objects with Anna

Enter the wonderful world of ceramics with Anna and (re)discover hand-building and decorating techniques in this full-day workshop.

The day begins with a warm welcome from Anna, a passionate ceramicist. After a brief introduction, she will present the different types of clay and introduce you to the fascinating world of ceramics. 

You'll start by exploring basic hand-building techniques, such as slab work and the pinch technique, as well as decorative approaches to personalize your pieces.

You’ll discover the entire production process from start to finish, transforming a ball of clay into beautifully crafted items. Over two 3-hour sessions on the same day, you’ll create up to four unique pieces. You’ll learn two primary techniques: the pinch technique with porcelain for creating hollow forms like cups, bowls, or mugs, and the slab technique using speckled stoneware clay, ideal for flat pieces such as plates, small trays, or boards. This clay is a beautiful material, speckled with tiny flecks of pyrite.

Once your pieces are completed, Anna will take care of the glazing and firing. A few weeks later, you can come back to the workshop to pick up your creations, once the firing process is complete.

Lunch is organized in a friendly potluck style where everyone brings a culinary specialty, homemade or from a favorite spot. Weather permitting, lunch can be enjoyed in the garden, with drinks provided by the workshop. A fridge and microwave are available, and coffee and tea are served throughout the day.

This workshop is offered in French only.
