Pottery is something you and your kids will undoubtedly love. It's messy, it's rewarding and it's fascinating, building something from nothing.
This weekly educational pottery course for kids is designed to encourage endless imagination, teach resilience and persistence, and allow independent creativity under the guidance of an expert potter. Lessons are held in English and Dutch
Each lesson we explore different techniques like coiling, slabbing and pinching, as well as decorating our creations with underglazing and glazing. In this way children will try the whole cycle of ceramics creation from a shapeless piece of clay to the final glazed artwork. They will discover the magical world of glazes and see their transformation before and after firing in our kiln. Firings are not done in the class itself, so the pieces will be received by our students some time after the class. So kids will also develop their patience, fine motor skills, problem solving skills, initiative, and curiosity. We will create functional and nonfunctional ceramic art.
All materials and firings included.
