To take full advantage of your workshop
We recommend that you arrive a few minutes before class starts and wait in our café area. Take the opportunity to grab a bite to eat or order a coffee if you wish! You will be able to enter the studio at the scheduled time of your lesson.

Some recommendations before making pottery
- Have short fingernails
- Do not wear rings, bracelets or watches
- 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.
