The teaching consists mainly of practical work under the guidance of the course leader. Everyone has their own potter's wheel throughout the course.
Make up for missed sessions
Nothing we guarantee can be done, but if you notify us of your absence in good time, there is a possibility that we can try to arrange for you to make up for it in someone else's spot. (Especially if you have unfortunately missed several times)
Screen-free: At Drejverkstaden, we want all of you to experience a calm atmosphere when you come in from a hectic Stockholm. Therefore, no computers or other screens are allowed to be used inside the premises. Mobile phones must always be set to silent mode when in the premises.
Sustainable materials
At Drejverkstaden, we are very mindful of the environment and work according to a sustainability plan in everything we do. The clays we purchase come from Witgerts, which has a strong environmental policy. In the courses, we only work with stoneware clays. The advantage of stoneware is that the fired pieces are very durable and that the glazes are more environmentally friendly. We strive to mix the glazes as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible. We pre-rinse all our glazing tools and thereby recycle all glaze residue particles, which in turn become a new glaze. The electricity we use comes solely from renewable energy.
