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!
