Led by ceramist Sanna, this workshop offers a hands-on experience with clay in a calm and inspiring atmosphere.
Under Sanna's guidance, session begins with a basic introduction to working with clay. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, you will be given clear instructions and demonstrations to help you get started.
The main focus of the workshop is the creation of ceramic plates. With Sanna's expertise, you will learn hand building techniques to create two plates of your own. From shaping the clay to smoothing out imperfections, each step is practical and hands-on.
Once you've made your plates, you will have the chance to decorate them however you like. Whether you want to paint them or add texture with flowers and plants, you will have the freedom to express your creativity.
Throughout the workshop, Sanna will provide individual attention and guidance to ensure that everyone feels supported and able to fully engage in the process. All materials and tools will be provided so that participants can concentrate on their creations without having to worry about logistics.
Once your plates are finished, they are fired in the studio kiln, a process that usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. Once finished, you can either collect them in person or have them shipped to your home for a small fee.
So come and join Sanna, roll up your sleeves and let your creativity take shape in clay !

Meet Sanna, a ceramist who embarked on a career switch in 2021, leaving behind her role as a data and artificial intelligence consultant to pursue her true calling as a teaching artist. With a background in mathematics, Sanna sought to explore her creativity in new realms, finding her passion in the world of ceramics.
Since her teenage years, Sanna has dedicated herself to the art of hand building, cultivating her skills and gaining invaluable experience along the way. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature, the tapestry of history, and the intricacies of human relationships, Sanna's art delves into the essence of what it means to be human. Her mission is to guide individuals in disconnecting from the digital realm, enabling them to rediscover themselves and their surroundings through the traditional art form of ceramics.
In the spring of 2022, Sanna unveiled her exquisite ceramics atelier in the charming town of Zaandam. Here, she offers basic ceramics courses and organises self-portrait workshops. Sanna firmly believes in the power of engaging with our hands and sees hand building with clay as a form of meditation. Through her classes, she empowers individuals to unlock their imagination, playfully explore the medium of clay, and develop an intimate connection with this versatile material.
