Learn how to work with stoneware and porcelain - 2-day course

Enter the wonderful world of ceramics with Anna and discover the techniques of plate-making, the pinch technique and the coil technique to make your choice of two pieces: a small strainer, a large cup, a tea infuser, an egg cup, a soap dish or a plant holder. 

In two 3-hour sessions, you will discover the production process from start to finish, from working the ball of clay to decorating your pieces. 

You will first get acquainted with the raw materials, stoneware and porcelain, and will move on to learning different modelling techniques. 

Once your pieces are made, Anna will fire and glaze them. You will be able to return to pick up your creations at the workshop a few weeks later, when the firing is complete. 

This workshop is available in several languages simultaneously. The craftsman will change the language of the workshop based on the participants present.

The two sessions take place on two consecutive days. 

Anna is originally from the West of France and studied art at Estienne, Paris, where she specialised in typography. She then chose to perfect her motion design skills at the Gobelins, l'école de l'image. 

She then moved to Brussels where she lived for 8 years, working in graphic design, brand concepts, visual identity and logotype creation, as a freelance designer. 

After a few years, she decided to fly to North America for a road trip across the country ending at Vancouver. But it was in Toronto that she began working as a graphic designer for a year. There, she discovered ceramics, and it turned from a hobby into a real passion! 

She then took several courses in Toronto and Montreal with experienced ceramists and then decided to return to Brussels, her adoptive city. Anna took things further and enrolled at the Academy of Arts in Brussels to hone her skills. 

She now wants to teach others about what she experienced in Canada, about discovering clay as a material, the experience of calmness and feeling at peace with yourself as you work, the kind of creativity that you can develop, a passion that you can pass on to others. 

She can't wait to welcome you to her pleasant, cosy workshop to teach you how to model stoneware and porcelain. Meet her!
