Discover Dieter’s workshop and dive with him into the wonderful world of ceramics!

During this workshop, you will be accompanied at every step, as you will be in a small group (max 3 people).

First, Dieter will give you some theoretical explanations about the clay, the wheel and ceramics in general.

Then, he will teach you how to prepare the clay before setting up the wheel. The preparation of the clay is a particularly important step as it will determine the malleability of the clay on the wheel and its ease of shaping.

Once you are set up on the wheel, you will learn how to centre the clay ball, set up a pin and shape your creations as you go along.

Dieter will guide you through each step of the creation process! Once the workshop is over, Dieter will glaze and fire one of your two pieces (the most beautiful!). You can then pick it up a few weeks later!

This workshop is available in Dutch, French and English. Dieter will adapt the language of the workshop to the participants present. Remember to bring your apron.
