Open creative workshop
New in Autumn 2025
We will organize an open creative workshop with a changing theme on the first Wednesday of every month.
Come and join!
Open pottery workshop
In the open pottery workshops, you can make pottery using traditional hand-building techniques. The potter's wheels are available to work with independently. If you have never done pottery before, we recommend you start with the Pottery for Beginners course or the Potter's Wheel course.
Open pottery workshops in the autumn season: Mondays from 12PM to 3PM, Thursdays from 5PM to 8PM, and Fridays from 12PM to 3PM. Starting in September, Saturday pottery workshops will be a new feature of the spring season.
There are 15 places in the workshop, unless otherwise stated.
