To take full advantage of your course
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.
This pottery class is for adults only (teenagers aged 13 and over are accepted if accompanied by an adult). For the little ones, check out our workshops for children or parent-child!
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

You will receive an email approximately 4 weeks after your last class, when your ceramic pieces will be ready. As our emails often end up in spams folder, 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 part did not survive the process, unfortunately we do not offer replacement or re-course.
