CREATE A HAND-BUILT CERAMIC BOX
Group Workshop • Suitable for beginners
2 sessions • 1900 DKK
Tools and materials provided.
In this workshop you will learn how to create your own ceramic box!
The finished size of the box will reflect the purpose of containing smaller items such as jewellery / a block of butter / optical glasses.
It is encouraged for you to bring along a picture reference of a box you’d like to try to recreate. However, there will also be design references for inspiration available to look at in the class.
Making a ceramic pieces from start to finish takes time..
So over the 2 sessions we will be working with the clay in the ”greenware” raw clay stage only.
After the workshop, the pieces are left to slowly dry for a week. Once dry enough, they will be fired twice and glazed to the finish of your choosing from the studio archives.
Finished pieces are to be picked up from the studio the following month. Shipping can also be arranged for an additional fee.

INTRO TO PLASTER MOULDS & THE SLIPCAST PROCESS
Group Workshop • Suitable for beginners
3 sessions • 2800 DKK
Tools and materials, N95 mask and safety glasses provided.
In this workshop you will learn how to create your very own 2-part plaster mould for the use of slipcasting.
You are to bring a simple cup (no handles) or bowl form from home to the class that you’d like to create a clay replica of.
In the first week, we will focus on the mould preparation and execution. In the following week once the moulds are dry and ready for use, we will do a single slipcasting round as a class.
The first clay replicas from the moulds will be fired and glazed after the workshop. There will be a selection of glazed finishes for you to choose from.
This workshop serves as an educational exercise for someone who would like to explore the possibility of slipcasting / creating plaster moulds, and allow a foundational skill for you to build upon.
The finishing mould is rightfully yours.

THROWING WORKS IN SECTIONS
Maximum of 2 per class
Suitable for experienced wheel throwers only
3 - 4 sessions depending on progress • 4200 DKK per person
In this workshop we will focus on creating a single larger wheel-thrown work. It will be created in sections, via the same method used by Franca Christophersen for her own works.
You may have in mind a shape / form reference of your own choosing, or as a class we may focus on the same form depending on what works best for all.
The sessions will cover an initial demonstration, discussions over the best course of action for the desired forms, throwing of the separate sections, joining of the sections and finally - trimming of the entire piece so it will be ready to dry and later fired & glazed after the workshop.
A selection of finishing glazes will be available to choose from.
All works will be thrown from stoneware.
Finished pieces are to be picked up from the studio the following month. Shipping can also be arranged for an additional fee.
