You can choose a glaze color for your pieces and we will finish them for you afterwards. You can then pick them up within 4-5 weeks or we send them by mail (plus shipping).
All pieces are food safe. Usually you will make 2-5 pieces.

The introduction class costs 180€ per person.

On the second day you can deepen your learned skills and produce more pieces.
Your pieces will dry for about 1-2 weeks. On an additional evening you are welcome to come and glaze your pieces yourself.
Alternatively, we offer to glaze your pieces for you and they can be picked up within 4-5 weeks or I will send them by mail (plus shipping costs).

Usually our students produce about 2-5 pieces each. We will finish your pieces with your desired glaze and you can pick them up within 4-5 weeks or we send them by mail (plus shipping costs).

Vouchers

There are still too many vouchers in circulation and we cannot guarantee a place for everyone, so we have decided to stop selling vouchers.
We recommend to get out the good old crafting scissors again and make your own voucher for the beloved person. :)

Please note:


Our studio is often visited by our little dog Kiwi. If you are afraid of dogs, please let us know in advance so that we can make the class as pleasant as possible for everyone.

Please wear appropriate clothing as chances are you might get some clay on them.
Don't worry, the will come out in the washing machine.
Short fingernails make learning much easier..

The ceramics events take place at The Clay Company Studio at Schinkelstraße 65, 40211 Düsseldorf. The pottery classes all take place at The Clay Company Club on Wielandtrsaße 52, 40211 Düsseldorf.
