2. Wheel throwing for two/Heart mugs for two

Anna offers a wheel throwing experience for two, perfect for couples, family, and friends. You'll start by getting familiar with clay in a fun and intuitive way, and try some clay wedging and handling. After that, you'll take turns on the potter's wheel with Anna's guidance to create your very first pot. Anna will then glaze your pots with one of the 20ish glazes for you to choose from, and they will be ready for pickup in 3-4 weeks. Book here

 

Group workshops without the wheel - some examples

I just want to have fun! workshop

This workshop is truly my favorite! I begin by introducing participants to essential pottery techniques, such as making pinch pots, slabs or coiling. Once the foundational skills are established, I focus on guiding each individual through their personal projects, allowing their unique creativity to take center stage. Whether you want to craft a functional piece or a stunning work of art, I'm here to support and inspire you every step of the way!

MUG making workshop

KURINUKI (Hollowing out) 

Create your version of a hand-built Chawan - Japanese teacup. This fun workshop promises us to get our hands dirty and unleash the wabi-sari aesthetics! 

We will use very simple instruments , a block of clay, and our hands to create a one-of-a-kind tea bowl or a vase.

 

Nature impressions

I absolutely adore this workshop! Every session brings its own unique gifts, whether it's the blooming cherries, dandelions, lilacs, poppies, autumn leaves or evergreens. We can preserve the essence of each season in porcelain! This workshop is the easiest and most enjoyable one of them all. It always brings a smile to our faces and deepens our connection to mother nature.
