Get to know the pottery wheel over 2 sessions

Discover the magic of the wheel in Kim's studio !

During two sessions of 2,5 hours, the ceramist will guide you through all the steps allowing you to create your own bowl.

The first session will be dedicated to discovering the pottery wheel. You will learn how to manipulate clay to remove all air bubbles and make it more malleable before you begin working on it. You will then discover how the potter's wheel works, first centring the piece before adding height to it. Finally, you will be able to give it the shape you want by following the movement of the clay.

The second course will take place one week later, at the same time and day as the first course. Your creation will have started to dry, and you will then move on to the finishing stages.

Kim will then take care of the firing. A few weeks later, you will be able to collect your pieces.

The price of the workshop includes the number of days defined in the description. The booking on the Wecandoo website allows you to schedule only the date of the first session. All following sessions must be planned directly with the artisan. If the days are consecutive, the next workshop will automatically take place the day after the first day booked.
