And this is how your team event will work:

A special kind of company event: while making pottery you can experience the meditative and relaxing effect of clay together.

We will show you the basic techniques for making small simple vessels out of clay.

Each of you will receive individual assistance in the realization of your own creative projects.

§§Hand-building technique: You have the choice of different techniques (e.g. slab technique or pinching technique) to realize your project. We will support you in finding ideas and implementing them. You can use different tools to shape the clay, create surface structures and carve patterns.

Potters wheel: After a short demonstration by the teacher on the wheel, you will start working on your own wheel. You have to practice centering, breaking open and pulling up walls. But don't worry, we will help you! Everyone will be able to make their own vessel.

Mix of hand-building technique and Potters wheel: In this option, your group will be divided. Both groups can potter together at the same time in the same room, only the initial explanation/demonstration of the different techniques will take place in two different rooms. Halfway through, you will switch so that each of you can try both.
