After Work Clayplay: Töpferkurs

In the organizer's words:

Closing time. Have you been looking at your screen all day? Excel spreadsheets here, Word documents there - and video calls in between? Time to relax and take a creative break with a pottery course in Darmstadt! We spend two and a half hours together in a relaxed atmosphere at the after-work pottery session.

Our sessions start with a relaxed mindfulness exercise. Don't panic, this is not Zen master training! Just a few breaths to clear your head. Then it's time to get started: Anna shows you the basics of pottery. You learn how to shape, knead, roll and press the clay. You quickly notice how your thoughts sort themselves out and your fingers calm down. And now comes the exciting part - you can get creative! Design whatever your heart desires: mugs, cups, vases, or perhaps a wacky ceramic cactus? You decide. While you let off steam, your mind will calm down. Pottery-making becomes a mini-meditation where you become one with the clay.

You don't need to bring anything except comfortable clothes that can get dirty and lots of curiosity. Two to three works can be created in the two and a half hours, depending on how experienced you are. Your works will then be fired in the studio.

The price also includes the glazing service, so that you can pick them up completely finished after a few weeks.

In this course, we limit ourselves to hand-building techniques and do not use a wheel.

The course price is per person, including materials, glazing and firing service.
