Private Event
We organise tailor-made slab building and wheel throwing workshops for companies’ private events (team-building) and for individuals (bachelor or bachelorette parties, birthdays, etc.).
These workshops are led by experienced teachers.
Participants can produce slab built or wheel thrown pieces which are then fired and glazed by us so that each participant can take home a finished object from this experience.
