Pottery workshops with babies

Pottery is something you and your kids will undoubtedly love. It's messy, it's rewarding and it's fascinating, building something from nothing.

Baby foot prints on pottery  #

There are moments in life that should never be forgotten!

We offer two types of workshops 1,5h each and you have a choice between two options.

Prints on Pottery We can help you print child's foot on our pre made ceramics, which then are glazed and fired meaning they will last forever. From plates and mugs to boxes and vases, we can offer as much or as little help as you would like. Once you have the precious prints you can add writing and decorations yourself.

Clay Imprints You will learn how to slab build a plate or a plaques and then we can create an impression of little hands or feet into the handmade item to create this unique piece to treasure. Once you have done your babies impressions you can use the stamps or paint the babies name and date of birth. You can decorate the work with any of our selection of underglazes to complete the design!

Leave your pottery piece with us for (bisque and) glaze firing and it will be ready for collection within a few weeks.

Whether you’re a new parent, grandparent, or just looking for a special gift, our personalised pottery pieces are a great way to preserve the tiny hands and feet of your little ones.

Wednesday between 12:00-15:00, Thursday between 11:00-15:00

Pregnant Belly Vase  #

Celebrate your beautiful pregnancy journey with a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake — a Pregnant Belly Ceramic Vase created from the natural curve of your baby bump.

In this intimate and memorable workshop, our experienced potter carefully hand-throws and shapes a ceramic vase especially for you. Then comes the magical moment: you gently press your 8-month-pregnant belly (or close to your due date) into the soft clay, leaving behind a natural imprint that captures this fleeting season of motherhood. The result is a sculptural, organic form inspired by your body — a timeless symbol of life, strength, and love.

Each vase is:

  • Individually handcrafted under the guidance of a professional ceramic artist;
  • Shaped and finished with your personal belly imprint;
  • Carefully fired and glazed;
  • A meaningful heirloom to treasure for generations

To make your piece even more personal, you can also add letters, names, dates, short messages, or decorative stamps to the clay before firing. Whether it’s your baby’s name, due date, a tiny heart, or a meaningful word, these details make your vase even more unique and deeply sentimental.

You are also welcome to bring your partner if you would like to share this special moment together.

No prior pottery experience is needed — this workshop is designed to be calm, safe, and comfortable for expecting mothers in their final trimester. We provide a relaxed studio environment where you can fully enjoy the moment and celebrate your growing baby.

After firing and glazing, your vase becomes a lasting keepsake — perfect for displaying flowers, nursery décor, or simply as a sculptural reminder of this extraordinary chapter in your life.

This experience is ideal for:

  • 8 months pregnant or nearing your due date;
  • Maternity celebrations;
  • Baby shower gifts;
  • A meaningful mother-to-be experience.

Because pregnancy is temporary — but memories can last forever.

All ceramic works require kiln firing and you'll receive it within 4 weeks after the workshop. Create art from your motherhood journey. Cherish your bump. Keep it forever.
