Local ceramic artist and founder of AUAKE, I create functional, minimalist, and contemporary pieces. I also teach classes covering a variety of handbuilding techniques.
No. This workshop is designed for beginners and is suitable for both adults and teenagers aged 15 and over. Whether it is your first time working with clay or you have some experience, we will guide you through the entire process.
All clay, tools, and materials are provided. During the session, you will learn fundamental handbuilding techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab building, and create up to three small pieces. Your work will also be glazed and kiln-fired by us.
Your pieces will be ready within a maximum of 8 weeks. We recommend taking photos of your creations after the workshop and contacting us approximately 4 weeks later to arrange a collection appointment or discuss delivery options.
No. Shipping and delivery costs are not included in the workshop fee. If you would like your finished pieces shipped to you, we can arrange worldwide delivery for an additional charge.
We ask participants to contact us within the collection timeframe. Unfortunately, we cannot store finished pieces indefinitely. If we do not hear from you, uncollected items will be placed in a box outside our studio for local village residents to take.
More than just pottery, you'll take home a memorable creative experience and a deeper connection with the craft of ceramics. During the workshop, you'll learn fundamental handbuilding techniques, explore your creativity through clay, and create up to three unique pieces with your own hands. After the workshop, your creations will be professionally glazed and kiln-fired by us, making them durable and ready for everyday use or display. Once completed, you'll be able to collect your finished ceramics or have them shipped to you (shipping costs apply). You'll also leave with new skills, creative confidence, and the satisfaction of having transformed a simple lump of clay into something truly personal and one of a kind.
Yes. We welcome children from 15 years old. The price is the same.
