How do the classes work?

The first class is always dedicated to modeling pieces with clay. These are left to dry in the studio for about a week, and then fired in the kiln.

The following classes (optional) may be dedicated to modeling new pieces, or decorating previously created pieces, through painting and/or applying glazes.

If participants only wish to take one class, they can collect the fired pieces as they are, or opt for the glazing (transparent) and re-firing service. The glaze coating makes the piece waterproof and shiny, and costs €7 per piece.
