Introduction to pottery class - 55 years and over
Introduction to pottery class - 55 years and over
Are you aged 55 or over and looking for a creative, relaxing, and enriching activity? Join us for an introduction to pottery class designed especially for you. No experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a desire to get your hands dirty!
Why a workshop for those aged 55 and over?
Because we believe that creativity has no age limit, and that some experiences are even more enjoyable when shared with people who share similar rhythms, interests, and experiences. This class has been designed to provide a welcoming, calm, and caring space where everyone can discover pottery at their own pace, without pressure. It's also a great opportunity to meet other curious people and bond over a soothing and meaningful activity.

Some recommendations before making pottery

- Wear clothes and shoes suitable for a workshop. It is recommended to bring an apron or cloths to dry your hands
- Clean your hands when entering the workshop
- Thoroughly clean the equipment you will use during lessons
Firing of the pieces
Firing of the pieces
You will receive an email approximately 6 weeks after your workshop, when your ceramic piece will be ready. As our emails often end up in the spams, add us to your contacts so you don't miss it!
It may happen that a piece breaks during firing, because ceramics is a complex art that involves several risks throughout the process. If your ceramic did not survive the process, unfortunately we do not offer replacement or re-course. The introductory course is focused on the experience of pottery, not on the result.
