Absolutely, all our workshops welcome complete beginners. No prior experience is needed; your instructor guides you through every step at your own pace.

Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little messy, working with clay and glaze is a hands-on, occasionally dusty process. Aprons are provided, and it helps to keep nails short and remove rings before working at the wheel.

No, all clay, tools and materials are included. Just bring yourself. If you'd like to keep your hands free during the silver ring workshop, you're welcome to bring a small reference image for inspiration.

We keep groups small so everyone gets personal, hands-on guidance. Our wheel-throwing courses are capped at four participants.

Most workshops are held in English, German, or both, the language for each session is noted on its workshop page. Ceramics & Body Language is held in German.

Your pieces are usually ready about two to three weeks after your session. Once they've been trimmed, glazed and fired, we'll let you know they're ready to collect from the studio. Please collect finished work within 30 days of being notified, after that, uncollected pieces may be disposed of and a handling fee can apply.

Ceramics need time. After your session the clay must dry fully, then it's trimmed, bisque-fired, glazed and fired a second time at high temperature. Each kiln cycle takes time to heat and cool, which is why finished work is ready a couple of weeks later.

We use food-safe glazes, so your pieces are suitable for everyday use. As with all handmade ceramics, gentle hand-washing is recommended to keep them looking their best for years.

A finished, wearable fine-silver ring, made, refined and polished by you, ready to wear the same day. No waiting and no firing service needed.
