Prerequisites
The course is suitable for both complete beginners and those with previous experience. The teaching is conducted in the form of individual guidance, and you have good opportunities to develop if you take multiple courses or sessions. A certificate of completion will be provided if desired.
Course structure and content
You will learn the basics of throwing, trimming, decorating techniques, and glazing. You will also be shown how to throw cups, bowls, jars, plates, and candlesticks - tall, short, large, and small. Depending on your skill level, we will help you further develop your abilities.
The teaching consists mainly of practical work under the guidance of the course leader. Everyone has their own potter's wheel throughout the course. We follow the current pandemic regulations regarding the number of people per square meter in our premises.
Sustainable materials
In the courses, we work with two different stoneware clays. The advantage of stoneware is that the fired pieces are very durable and that the glazes are lead-free. 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. We strive to mix lead-free glazes with natural colorants, such as blue clay, terracotta, etc.
