2 hours of improvement with Violaine

Knowledge in ceramics

Your beautiful vase

The workshop in detail

  • 2h
  • 15 years min.
  • 1 participant max
  • Up to 2 people for a privatization
  • Welcome to Violaine's pottery studio, where you'll experience the art of pottery first hand.

    She'll start your session with a demonstration, giving you an insight into her technique.

    With Violaine's guidance, you'll learn the step-by-step process of throwing your own vase. You'll start with a lump of clay and work it into the shape you want. Each session includes one piece of up to 2kg of clay, with the option to purchase additional clay for a small fee.

     After your session, your vase will be dried slowly, after which Violaine will take care of the firing and glazing process using either a clear or white glaze.

    If you're interested in learning additional techniques such as trimming or glazing, you can arrange further sessions with Violaine.

    After firing, your vase will be ready for collection within 4-6 weeks. You'll receive an email inviting you to collect your finished creation from the studio.

    Experience the art of ceramics in Violaine's warm and welcoming workshop!

    This workshop is open to people who would like to improve their skills in this craft, please reach out to Violaine beforehand should you wish to focus on a particular skill. 

    Workshop location

    The studio is easily accessible by public transport. For ‘on the go’ workshops, the workshop can be organised at the location of your choice within the artisan's approved radius.

    Wecandoo - Meet Violaine

    Meet Violaine

    Ceramicist

    Meet Violaine, a skilled ceramic artist based in Shoreditch. Violaine discovered her love for working with clay in 2018, after attending a wheel-throwing workshop. She practised consistently, selling her creations, and fell in love with the craft. So much so that she left her career as a Design and Art Director to pursue her ceramics business full-time!

    You can see influences from Violaine's French background in her chic ceramic style. While continuing to explore new techniques, recently focusing on sgraffito surface pattern, this sophisticated and clean look runs through her collections. 

    With over three years of teaching experience at a London pottery school, Violaine now invites enthusiasts to visit her in her studio where you will be truly immersed in an artist's space. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate, Violaine offers a supportive environment to learn and create your own ceramics from scratch. 

    Experience the joy of working with clay under Violaine's guidance, and express your creativity!
