Workshops & Clay Classes
HANDBUILDING
2x2 hours (or 1x3 hours)
2 hours handbuilding + 2 hours glazing (or a session with 3 hours of handbuilding)
In the first session you can experiment with different shapes and techniques. We start with a short introduction to the different handbuilding techniques (such as pinching, coiling and slab building). Free forms can be tried out and small objects like cups, bowls, vases or sculptures can be created. The finished pieces need to dry for 10 days before they can go into the kiln and be fired for the first time. Two weeks after the first session you can paint and glaze your pieces in the second session, followed by a second firing 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 materials, tools and firings are included.
All prices include 19% VAT.
You can book your handbuilding workshop and reserve your spot via the online shop.
Please cancel your class at least 10 business days in advance by email to get a refund.
WHEEL THROWING
Block (3x2 hours)
Get to know how to prepare the clay, center and turn it on the wheel. In the first session we will try out different tools and experiment with shapes. The focus is to get a feeling for the material and how it behaves under the gentle guidance of the hand. In the second session, over the course of the next few days, the objects can be trimmed and refined with tools. In the third session you can glaze your pieces, after they have been drying for 10 days and fired at 900°C.
2+2+2 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).

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 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 firing of pieces that were not made during the workshops is 10 Euros / kg for bisque and 12 Euros / kg for glaze firings. The pieces are 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 our 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 in case you don't want to do the glazing yourself, it will be 15 Euros / quarter hour. You can then pick up your pieces fully glazed, in transparent glaze.
Note: No firing services in December
For special events and workshops, birthdays or team evenings with your colleagues or friends...
