Welcome to an inspiring and joyful weekend course in trying out throwing with Fanny Jiseborn. This course is perfect for you who want to see what it's like to throw or just want to do something cozy together with a friend or family member for a few hours over a weekend.
Saturday - Introduction and demonstration of throwing. Then we will throw as much as we can. The course ends with a snack afterwards for those who wish.
Sunday - We will glaze our pieces and add handles, decorate, sign, etc. The course ends with a snack afterwards for those who wish.
After the weekend, the pieces must be bisque fired and then glazed. We will glaze your works for you. After about 3 weeks, you can pick up your pieces.
The course fee includes:
- Approximately 1.5kg of stoneware clay + engobes/decorative materials + firing + we will glaze your works
- Coffee/tea and possibly snack accessories
- Opportunity to leave your shoes over the weekend
Prerequisites
The course is suitable for both complete beginners and those with previous experience. The teaching takes place 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, glazing, and some decoration techniques. Depending on your skill level, we will help you further develop.
The teaching mainly consists of practical work under the guidance of the course leader. Everyone has their own potter's wheel throughout the course.
Sustainable materials
In the courses, we work with two different stoneware clays. The advantage of stoneware is that the fired product is very durable and that the glazes are lead-free. At the Pottery Workshop, 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 lead-free glazes and use natural colorants as much as possible, such as blue clay, terracotta, etc.
Where
In the fine course facilities of the Pottery Workshop at Holländargatan 33, Stockholm.
