CHF 280.00

Continue after your first session

This 3-session ceramic practice pack is designed for those who want to continue after a first experience and spend more time working with clay.

It offers a simple way to return to the studio and begin developing familiarity with the material.

Sessions take place in a small-group ceramic studio in Zurich (max. 4 participants), allowing for individual guidance and a calm working environment.

What you will explore

Over several sessions, you can:

  • Continue hand-building and shaping forms

  • Refine your understanding of clay, texture and structure

  • Begin to explore wheel throwing (after introduction)

  • Experience the process from making to finished piece

How it evolves

It’s enjoyable from the start — and becomes more natural and fluid over time.

With a few sessions, you begin to:

  • feel more comfortable with the material

  • gain more control in your gestures

  • understand the process more clearly

A simple way to continue

  • Flexible booking based on your schedule

  • Most people come once a week or every two weeks

  • Valid for 3 months

Studio guidelines

All materials are provided by the studio. External materials are not permitted.

Courses are held in English, German, Italian or French depending on participants.

We kindly ask that pieces are completed and collected within 3 months.

Glazing & safety

For safety reasons, the following are required during glazing:

  • black nitrile gloves

  • FFP2or FFP3 mask (not provided by the studio)

Eating and drinking are not permitted during glazing.

Process & timing

Clay requires time and care. Drying, firing and cooling are essential steps.

Firing is done in small batches once the kiln is full, in order to reduce energy consumption.
This may involve some waiting time.

We do our best to process all pieces as efficiently as possible.

Material awareness

Clay is a natural and limited resource.
We encourage a mindful approach to what you choose to keep and fire.
