Book a class

Mondays & Tuesdays 17:30-19:30

Two–day classes:

  • Day 1: wedging, centering and throwing

  • Day 2: trimming, attaching handles and carving

Note: Glazing is not included in wheel throwing classes. You can add glazing as an add-on when booking, or glaze your pieces during a handbuilding class. The firing of up to two pieces is included in the price.

In your first few lessons you’ll be guided to make a simple cup.

Other forms will be taught in longer courses. For now, we offer two-day classes only. Longer courses will be announced soon.

FAQ

  • Three:

    1. Wheel throwing – shape your pieces on the wheel using stoneware clay.

    2. Trimming – refine your leather-hard pots, giving them a clean finish and a foot. You can also decorate them with various surface techniques and add handles (optional).

    3. Glazing – choose from over 40 glazes to finish your pieces.

      Note: Glazing is not included in wheel throwing classes. You can add glazing as an add-on when booking your class or glaze your pieces during a handbuilding class.

  • Clay, tools and firing for up to 2 pieces, plus a cup of tea and a few biscuits 💛

    Glazing is not included in the price. If you're also attending our handbuilding classes, you can glaze your pieces there. Otherwise, add the glazing add-on when booking.

    Each additional piece you'd like fired costs 8€.

  • A few things to know before you come:

    • Short nails are a must for throwing. Even slightly longer nails get in the way 💅🏻

    • Got long hair? Bring a hair tie.

    • Expect to get a little messy! Aprons are provided and clay washes out easily, but shoes that are easy to clean are a good idea.

    • Please arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before class.

  • As a beginner, you'll start by making simple cups. The two–day classes are all about making cups. Other forms, such as bowls, bud vases and plates, will be taught in our longer courses.

    At the moment, we don't offer classes for intermediate or advanced students.

  • CLAY
    We use only stoneware clay, available in white and speckled beige. It's more durable than the low-fire clay commonly used, doesn't absorb moisture and is dishwasher-safe.

    GLAZES
    We use high-quality stoneware glazes. These glazes don’t crackle and are much stronger than the low-fire glazes commonly used in Lithuania. All studio glazes are food-safe. You can choose from 40+ color palette and use pour-on or brush-on glazes, underglaze paints, engobes or glaze granules.

  • Your finished pieces will be ready for pickup within 2-3 weeks after your glazing class.

  • Yes, changes are possible up to 24 hours before the class starts.
