2.5 hours of discovery with Silvia, Nay, and their team

Knowledge of ceramics and modelling

Your set of two little bowls or personalised creation

The workshop in detail

  • 2h30
  • 15 years min.
  • 2 to 8 participants
  • Up to 8 people for a privatization
  • An introduction to ceramics and modelling awaits you at Silvia and Nay's! 

    When you arrive at the beautiful workshop, the whole team will welcome you. You will get a chance to explore the premises, before putting on your apron and getting down to business! 

    These expert ceramists will share their know-how and talk you through the choice of stoneware, the tools to use, and more. 

    You will then learn to apply the different modelling techniques, such as pinching, the colombin, or the plate technique. This creative session is first and foremost an opportunity to sink your hands into the clay, to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city, and to take a break from your daily routine.

    At the end of this workshop, you will have created a pair of little bowls or a personalised creation. The ceramists will take care of firing your pieces, which you can pick up a few weeks later.

    Workshop location

    Silvia and Nay's workshop is located near the Ma Campagne stop (line 92).

    Ceramists

    One a yoga teacher and the other a graphic designer, Nay and Silvia share a passion - for ceramics! 

    A true escape, and a source of balance amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, they decided to embark on their ceramic adventure in early 2021, with the opening of their workshop. Their aims? To share their passion with interested people, but also with other artisan ceramists! 

    The passing on of their expertise has been an integral part of the project since the whole thing began. Their workshop in the heart of Saint Gilles is "a second home for us and for you", as they so beautifully put it! It is a warm place where everyone is free to learn and have fun using their hands. Interested? Then let's go!

    Super chouette atelier, un moment de déconnexion hors du temps, avec la douceur et la bienveillance de Silvia pour nous guider. Les 2h30 ont filé en 5 minutes ! Merci pour cette première initiation que j'ai particulièrement apprécié 😊
