For a number of years (since 2018) I have been giving easy going courses and workshops handbuilding in my studio in Amsterdam under the name ‘Potje Kleien’. In my studio, attached to my home, there is room for a maximum of 5 people per “class”; which makes that there is ample time for me to assist each of you in realising your projects.
(FYI Potje Kleien are classes in handbuilding. I don’t teach wheel-throwing on a pottery wheel. Also I don’t offer kiln rental / fire service for work made elsewhere.)
Below is an overview of the options and dates. You can register directly via the webshop, or get in touch first if you have any question. And have a look at the Potje Kleien instagram to admire what has been made before!
4-week course
This is the classic Potje Kleien formula. As always, no previous experience is necessary to participate, and you get to choose what you want to make.
We start the first lesson by practicing some basic techniques and then quickly move on to your own project, which I will of course help you with. Of the four lessons, the first three are clay lessons, the last lesson you will glaze your work yourself. I will then fire everything for you, so you have a functional end result: you can eat from it, drink from it and it can even be put in the dishwasher.
A week is skipped between the 3rd and 4th lessons, during this week the work will dry and I will bisque fire the pieces in preparation for the glazing class.
Costs for participation including materials is €200 pp.
Upcoming course dates
Theme Workshop
Themed one-afternoon workshops with topics such as making candle holders, mugs or espresso cups. With everyone on the same page, we can create something beautiful in a very short time, even if you have no previous experience.
Costs for participation including coffee, tea, snacks, materials and glazing & firing service are €75.
Private Workshop
Are you with your own group of 3 to 6 people?
Then we can set a date together for a one-off workshop! We take 2 hours and the clay work can also be painted. Costs are €75 pp including materials and glazing & firing service, and some drinks and snacks will be provided.
