All courses take place in the Community Studio. During course times, 6 out of 12 pottery wheels are available for your use.
Vouchers
There are still too many vouchers in circulation, and we cannot guarantee everyone a spot, so we have decided to stop selling vouchers.
We recommend dusting off the good old zigzag scissors and crafting a voucher yourself. :)
Pick-Up of Finished Pieces
You can always find the pick-up times for your pieces at the top of the website or on Instagram each week. Fired or glazed pieces must be picked up/glazed within 6 months. If no pick-up or attendance at a glaze workshop occurs within this period, the pieces in question will become the property of The Clay Company GmbH. The Clay Company GmbH reserves the right to decide on these pieces at its discretion, including reusing or disposing of them.
Please note - Doggo @ the studio
Our studio frequently welcomes our small dog Kiwi. If you have a fear of dogs, please inform us in advance so we can ensure the course is as comfortable as possible for everyone.
Feel free to wear clothes that can get dirty. Don't worry, everything comes out in the wash.
Short fingernails make pottery much more relaxed.
The ceramic events take place at The Clay Company Studio, located at Schinkelstraße 65, 40211 Düsseldorf. Pottery courses are held at The Clay Company Club, located at Wielandstraße 52, 40211 Düsseldorf.
