Your beautiful bowl

The workshop in detail

  • 2h
  • 15 years min.
  • 1 to 4 participants
  • Up to 4 people for a privatization
  • Join Ania in her studio for a hands-on and delightful pottery workshop. This engaging experience will take you through every step of creating your own unique ceramic bowl on the potter's wheel.

    The session begins with a warm introduction from Ania and an explanation of the ceramic process. You'll learn about the materials, techniques, and inspirations behind her beautiful stoneware. Next, Ania will demonstrate how to use the wheel, showing the skill and precision required to turn clay into a bowl.

    Then it's your turn to get your hands dirty! With Ania's guidance, you'll create your first bowl and master the basic techniques of wheel throwing. After this first creation, you'll have the chance to let your creativity run wild and make up to three more pieces.

    At the end of the workshop, it's time to tie up and choose your best piece. Ania will fire your creation and in about four weeks, you'll be able to collect your finished bowl.

    Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience with pottery, Ania's workshop promises to be an inspiring experience!

    Meet Ania

    Ceramicist

    Ania wasn't always a ceramist. Before immersing herself full-time in the world of clay, she worked in the civil service. Her journey into ceramics began with evening classes, a hobby that gradually grew into her true passion over the course of 15 years. Now, with a degree in ceramics under her belt, Ania has her own studio where she teaches pottery classes and shares her love and expertise with others.

    Ania's creations are primarily in black and white stoneware, reflecting her deep-rooted inspirations. Growing up in communist Poland, she was surrounded by Brutalist architecture and industrial concrete. The raw materials, sharp geometric shapes, and minimalist colour schemes of the era have left a lasting impression on her work. Additionally, her visits to Kyoto, Japan, have significantly influenced her style, leading to a fusion of Eastern and Western elements in her pieces.

    Whether you're a beginner or an experienced potter, Ania's classes are an inspiring and educational experience. Join her to explore the art of ceramics and discover the joy of transforming raw clay into beautiful, functional works of art.
