Welcome to an inspiring and joyful weekend course in pottery.
Day 1 - Introduction and demonstration of throwing. Then we will throw all day. Large, small, low, and high. Everything depending on your previous experiences. Lunch break around 12-1 PM, and we will provide coffee/tea and snacks.
Day 2 - We will trim our pieces and add handles, decorate, sign, etc. Lunch break around 12-1 PM, and we will provide coffee/tea and snacks.
After the weekend, the pieces must be bisque fired before glazing, so we will meet 3 weeks later to glaze them together. After that, it will take another 3-4 weeks (they will be glaze fired now) before you can come and pick up your finished works.
The course fee includes:
- Course compendium
- 2 kg stoneware clay + slips/glazes/decorative materials + firing (after that, clay costs 50 SEK/kg)
- Drejverkstaden's fine fabric bag
- Coffee/tea and snack accessories after lunch
- Opportunity to leave your shoes during the weekend
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.
Course structure and content
You will learn the basics of throwing, trimming, decorating techniques, and glazing. You will also see how to throw cups, bowls, jars, plates, and candlesticks - high, low, large, and small. Depending on how much you know, we will help you further develop your skills.
The teaching consists mainly of practical work under the guidance of the course leader. Everyone has their own potter's wheel throughout the course. Max 12 participants.
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 in everything we do according to a sustainability plan. The clays we purchase come from Witgerts, which has a strong environmental policy. We strive to mix the glazes as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible. We pre-rinse all our glazing tools.
Where
In Drejverkstaden's fine course facilities at Holländargatan 33, Stockholm.
