My first time with clay

My first time with clay

This is an ideal way to spend time in a creative environment, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. During the workshop, you will learn about the properties of clay and basic methods of working with this material — you will discover what techniques are used in clay work and what you need to start your ceramic adventure.

During the class, you will create up to two ceramic pieces, working at your own pace and enjoying the creative process.

At the workshop, you can make, among other things: a mug, a bowl, a dish, or a plate. Of course, you can also come with your own idea. Please remember that each piece should be made from approximately 500 g of clay, which allows for better control over the form and facilitates the work. For larger pieces over 30 cm, you have the option to make them for an additional fee due to material consumption and the space occupied in the kiln.

Important: If the piece is larger than 30 cm, an additional charge of PLN 20 applies. If the piece exceeds 30 cm, an additional glazing fee also applies due to glaze consumption and the larger space required in the kiln during high-temperature firing. Cost: PLN 70 extra per piece.

We do not use molds or casts — all vessels are made by hand, making each piece unique and unrepeatable. You decide on the shape, character, and style of your vessels.

Children aged 7 to 13 must be accompanied by a guardian who also participates in the workshop.

After the class, the pieces will be fired in a ceramic kiln at a temperature of 900°C (known as bisque firing).

After the first firing, you can:

- pick up your pieces,

- or arrange for additional glazing workshops, during which the vessels will be finished and prepared for contact with food.

If you wish, the instructor can glaze your pieces for an additional fee — PLN 70 per piece.

Organizational matters:

Workshop duration: 2 hours of creative work + approx. 15 minutes for tidying up the workstation.

- After the pottery workshop, you can arrange for glazing workshops after 2 weeks.

- Due to limited space in the studio, pieces will wait for you for one month and then will be disposed of.

- On-site, you will find: water, tea, coffee, and something sweet

- Maximum number of participants: 8 people

- Workshops take place if a minimum of 2 people have signed up

- Workshops can be conducted in Polish and English

(The creation of two pieces depends on the pace of work and individual skills of the participant. We do not guarantee that every person will be able to complete two forms within the allotted time.)
