Workshops & Clay Classes
HANDBUILDING
2x2 hours (or 1x3 hours)
2 hours handbuilding + 2 hours glazing (or 3 hours of handbuilding and we finish and glaze it for you)
In the first session we will get to know the different techniques (pinching, coiling and slab building) and experiment with different shapes. Small objects like cups, bowls, vases or sculptures can be made. The finished pieces need to dry for 7-10 days before they go into the kiln to be fired. In the 2. session you can glaze your pieces which will be fired a second time, now at 1240°C.
GROUP CLASSES
2x2 hours (in a group of 4–6) → 130 € per person
2x2 hours (private session with 1–3 people) → 160 € per person. All prices include 19% VAT.
All materials, tools and firings are included.
You can reserve your spot and book via our online shop (infos in both English and German available, just scroll down and click on your preferred language).
Please cancel your class at least 10 business days in advance by email to get a refund.
WHEEL THROWING
Block (3x2 hours) 2 hours of throwing + 2 hours of trimming your pieces (on the next day) and 2 hours of glazing (2 weeks later, after drying and bisque firing).
Get to know how to prepare the clay, center and turn it on the wheel. In the first session we will start with a cylinder and throw different shapes. The focus is to get a feeling for the material and how it behaves under the gentle guidance of the hand. In the 2. session the objects will be trimmed with tools and refined. In the 3. session you can glaze your pieces, after they have been drying for 7-10 days and already once fired at 980°C.

Firing Service
For firing service requests please send a mail to: mail@apinchofsalt.de
The first firing (bisque firing) at 900°C takes about 12 hours + another 12 hours to cool down. After a full day the kiln can be opened and carefully unloaded. The second firing (glaze firing) at 1260°C takes about 16 hours + another 14 hours to cool down. The pieces are always weighed after the first firing, when they are lighter. You can make objects up to a height of 24 cm or optionally also rent the whole kiln with a volume of 200L.
Please note that we only offer firing services for pieces that have been made in our studio with familiar clays due to the high risk that things can go wrong in the firing process. For glazing your objects you can either book a glazing class (2 hours in a small group) in which you can use all tools and glazes or we can take care of the glazing for 15 Euros / quarter hour.
Note: we do not offer firing services in December
