Recurring workshops for children and youth First Saturday 10-11:30 AM or Wednesday 5-6:30 PM

Do you want to learn about ceramics? If you're interested in how a plate, mug, or platter is made, then these classes are for you.

In our workshops, we teach the full ceramic production process. In our studio, real utility pieces are created, which can be given to loved ones or used to bring your own dreams to life. During the classes, we don't impose themes but help you create your ideas while adhering to ceramic rules.

During one session, we work with clay, shaping, smoothing, and decorating pieces with engobes. Then, we leave them to dry and later bisque-fire them at 950°C. In the next session, we polish the fired piece with sandpaper, decorate it with glazes, and leave it for a final firing in the kiln at 1050°C or 1250°C, depending on the type of clay. Each kiln firing takes 36 hours. So, this process teaches patience :)

After the entire process, you take your creations home, and the person who receives them is truly lucky, as the pieces we make are of the highest quality, fully functional, and dishwasher safe.

A single 1.5-hour session costs 120 PLN.

The cost of a 6-session cycle (1.5 hours each) is 600 PLN (6th session free). After purchase, you receive a pass that can be used within 2 months.

A single 1.5-hour session costs 120 PLN.

Below, I present a series of additional benefits of ceramic workshops, which are often overlooked but are a wonderful part of human development, because ceramic classes:

• relax and de-stress,
• stimulate the nervous system,
• improve hand-eye coordination,
• develop imagination,
• train concentration,
• teach spatial planning,
• release artistic expression,
• develop manual dexterity,
• develop an interest in creativity.

Additionally, we all love clay because:

• it brings genuine joy,
• it is an extremely plastic material, and therefore very forgiving, especially for the hands of small and large artists,
• it allows you to create and take home wonderful animals, toys, decorations, gifts for loved ones, your own mug or bowl, and many other masterpieces whose purpose may be difficult for adults to guess at first glance, but the imagination and commitment involved make their value priceless.

Workshops for children support parents and educators in psychosomatic development, raise awareness of the importance of motor development in children, and contribute to the popularization of ceramics as a form of activity with a therapeutic character.

Children's workshops often include activities in clay modeling and ceramics. Children can experiment with different materials, techniques, and create objects from scratch. Example projects that can be undertaken in such workshops include:

• Mugs: Children learn to form the shape of a mug and then decorate it through glazing.

What does a typical day at ceramic workshops look like?

Description of a typical day at a ceramic studio workshop

In a ceramic studio, a typical day begins with preparing the ceramic kiln for work. Participants start by checking the condition of the equipment and its temperature. Then, everyone takes their place at the potter's wheel, where they begin working with clay. The classes focus on forming and modeling clay, developing the imagination and creative skills of the students.

After forming, the pieces go into the ceramic kiln, where they will undergo the firing process. This stage is crucial, as it determines the final effect of the creation. Glazes added before firing give the ceramics a distinctive appearance and durability. During daily classes, groups of students jointly learn clay working techniques and kiln operation.

Interaction between participants is essential for skill development, so work is done not only individually but also as part of group projects. Joint efforts foster the exchange of experiences and inspirations. Thanks to this, work becomes not only a creative but also a social process.

Ceramic workshops are not only about learning a craft but also an opportunity to escape from everyday life and focus on one's passions. For many participants, working with clay and firing ceramics is a way to relax and express themselves through art. Each day at the workshops brings new challenges and satisfaction from one's own achievements.
