Ready to take your next step in ceramics? A warm welcome to our continuation course at Studio Alster!
This course is perfect for those who have already explored the basics of pinching, slab building, coiling, and wheel throwing, and are now looking to deepen their skills and creativity.
In addition to the fundamental techniques, you’ll learn exciting new skills such as sgraffito, marbling, nerikomi, and basic clay recycling. You’ll also gain valuable knowledge about maintaining a healthy and functional studio environment.
Each session begins with a short demonstration or overview, followed by time to work freely with the technique of your choice. I’ll be there to support you throughout the entire process — from your first lump of clay to your finished piece. You are free to experiment with all techniques or choose to focus on one in particular.

-
6 sessions, 3 hours each — total of 18 hours
