When will my piece be ready for pickup?

The "completion" of a ceramic piece is a long process. A lot goes on behind the scenes after you leave the studio! Your pieces must be monitored and slow-dried to help prevent cracking. I will then  fire, glaze, and fire your pieces again. Each firing plus cooling time takes around 36 hrs. The second firing goes up to 1255 degrees C! This is not something you can do in your kitchen oven at home ;) Your finished pieces will be ready for pickup from the studio on average 4 weeks after your workshop.

 

What if I have to miss my event?

We do not offer refunds, so please double check that this date and time works for you before booking. If you have symptoms of illness please stay home. “Make-up” spots are only given to people who miss their event due to an illness that could be Covid. It is a thank you for staying home when sick and protecting us all. We will offer you a "make-up" spot in the next scheduled public workshop of a similar price range.

 

Drejning/Throwing

​

Drejning Dag is a crazy fun day of back-to-back drejning sessions! Learn to throw cylinders (which you can use for cups, flower pots, or vases), bowls, and plates!

​

Perhaps the most popular ceramic technique, drejning takes years to perfect but is a lot of fun from day one. In this workshop you will learn how to cone and center the clay, raise and shape the walls to form your piece.

​

The price for one spot in a 2.5-hour drejning dag event is 1 200 SEK per participant. That price includes:

• Clay prep and cleaning by me so you can simply enjoy your time in the studio! Cleaning pottery wheels is a time consuming process, so for "drejning dagar," I will clean the studio at the end day. That means there will be an ever increasing creative and muddy chaos on drejning dagar :)

• Up to 1.5 kg of clay per participant divided into three, 500 g pieces for up to 3 tries on the pottery wheel

• The finishing of up to 3 pieces per participant

• One glaze color per participant (from the options we offer in the studio). All of their pieces will be glazed in that one color

 

We are currently accepting up to 6 participants for this activity.

​

Tumning/Pinching

​

Tumning is a hand building technique (meaning it does not use the pottey wheel/drejskiva) in which you form the clay only with your hands. It is a relaxing and forgiving technique vs the pottery wheel/drejning which is fast paced.

​

The price for one spot in a 2-hour event is 450 SEK per participant. That price includes:

• Clay prep and cleaning by me so you can simply enjoy your time in the studio!

• Up to 500 kg of clay per participant

• The finishing of up 1 piece per participant

• One glaze color per participant (from the options we offer in the studio). All of their pieces will be glazed in that one color

 

We are currently accepting up to 12 participants for this activity.

​

Kavling/Slab-building

​

Kavling is a hand building technique (meaning it does not use the pottey wheel/drejskiva) in which you roll out a pancake of clay, cut out pieces, and then construct an object. Kavling is a great technique for adding texture to your clay. Clay picks up a lot of detail. I have objects in the studio for you to press into the clay and personalize your mug but you can also bring things from home like flowers, leaves, stamps, toys, etc to experiment with. For groups of 4 or more, I will kavla and cut out the clay before you come to the studio. In the studio, you will press texture in the texture and construct your mug.

​

The price for one spot in a 2-hour event is 700 SEK per participant. That price includes:

• Clay prep and cleaning by me so you can simply enjoy your time in the studio!

• Up to 750 kg of clay per participant

• The finishing of up 1 piece per participant

• One glaze color per participant (from the options we offer in the studio). All of their pieces will be glazed in that one color
