Learn to wheel-throw a vase

Experience the thrill of wheel throwing with our exclusive session – small vases! Perfect for those eager to dive into the world of ceramics. This hands-on experience offers a sneak peek into the art of creating ceramic vases on the pottery wheel.

Join us for an intimate evening of wheel-throwing at Clayground Berlin! In this small-group workshop, limited to 5 participants, you’ll learn to craft beautiful, small vases on the potter’s wheel. Guided by our experienced instructor, you’ll shape and create unique pieces in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

What’s included:

• Two-hour session
• Clay, materials, aprons, and tools are included
• Expert guidance and help
• Trimming, firing, and glazing in a warm, neutral shade will be taken care of by our team

Your finished vases will be ready for pickup two weeks after the workshop, allowing time for us to fire and glaze them. Perfect for all experience levels, this session offers a fun, hands-on introduction to wheel throwing.

Here’s what we’ll do in this wheel course:

• Preparing clay, centering, pulling, and throwing small to medium vases
• Learn how to use various tools to add patterns and shapes to the surface of the clay
• Learn how to take your finished piece off the wheel without distorting it
• Our tutor will assist you throughout the workshop in case the pieces become too wobbly
• We then take care to trim, glaze and fire your pieces in the ceramic kiln
• You’ll pick up your pieces 2 – 3 weeks later

You’ll also learn a whole bunch of wheel-throwing techniques and skills:

• Good technique for centering the clay to prep for efficient wheel-throwing
