Rewind in A Creative Ceramics Workshop – Plan Now!

Rewind in A Creative Ceramics Workshop - Plan Now!

Organise your own ceramics workshop in Atelier Ainoa for a group of friends, family or colleagues. The session consists of three parts:

  • Introduction to the hand-building with clay
  • Creating an object like a mug, cup, or a figurine
  • Decorating it with Mayco Stroke & Coat glazings (over 30 colour options available)

The price for a 3 h private ceramics workshop is 95 € pp (excl. VAT). In this time, you will be able to make a small object of clay and decorate it – even if you don’t have any earlier experience on the ceramics. It is also possible to plan a longer session. Minimum size of the group is 3 persons and maximum 8.

If your group has a special reason to gather together for the creative session, we are happy to help you to think a special theme for the workshop. Some ideas are for example:

  • Travellers: Rewind with the clay after busy sightseeing and make your own souvenir.
  • Team building: Create a clay portrait of your colleague.
  • Friends: Decorate your mug with a reminder why you stick together.
  • Christmas: Make your own ceramics candle holder.
  • Spring: Flowers, flowers, flowers – build your own tulip vase or a use plants in the decoration.
  • Easter: Create tiny creatures for your grass still life.

After the workshop, your works will dry for 1-2 wks. Dry objects are fired in a special ceramics kiln to 1030 C degrees. The firing turns the raw clay into a hard ceramic object, and melts the glazing into a glossy surface – just like a glass. You can either pick up the works from the atelier after 2-4 wks or they are shipped to you. Shipping cost depends on your home address.

The teacher in the workshops is Sanna Pöyhönen. She is originally a Finnish artist who first put her hands in the clay 30 years ago, and is still in love with the craft.
