The Art of Spinning: 6 Weeks of Creativity
Welcome to a course where you get to explore the world of ceramics and create unique objects with your own hands. There's something special about using something you've made yourself — drinking your morning coffee from a cup you've shaped yourself, lighting a candle in a handmade candle holder or giving away a really personal gift. In this course, you will be involved throughout the entire process — from raw clay to finished product — with guidance and support all the way. This course isn't just about technology — it's about thinking freely, experimenting and letting your hands and imagination lead the way. In a relaxed and inspiring environment, you get to explore different forms in turn and work at your own pace, sharing the experience with others. We always start in the lounge with a drink before going through the day. Then you'll have time to create at your own pace, with my guidance and expertise available throughout the process. Whether you are a beginner or have previous experience, you are warmly welcome to explore, challenge yourself and develop your creativity. ✨ Let your ideas take shape in clay — see you in the studio!

During three days of the course, you will explore the possibilities of clay and learn several different hand building techniques to create personal and unique objects. The course is suitable for both beginners and those who have previous experience in ceramics. Day 1 -- Designing and Hand Building We start with inspiration and idea work where you get to plan what you want to create. Next, we go through basic hand building techniques such as thumbing, ringling and rolling. You can try different working methods and start your own crafts, such as cups, bowls, saucers or smaller vases. Day 2 — Further development and details During the second day, continue work on your projects. We focus on form, function and expression, and you will learn different methods of creating details, patterns and textures. We show how simple tools and decorating methods can give each object a personal expression.
