Workshops take place at my home in Tegernheim, with small groups of up to 4 participants to ensure personal guidance and attention.

1-Day Workshop – Handbuilding & Underglaze Painting
Relax, create, and take home your own ceramic pieces.
In this introductory workshop, you’ll explore the joy of working with clay. Using simple handbuilding techniques, you’ll create 1–2 small pieces and if you like, and time permits, decorate them with engobes and underglazes.
I will take care of bisque-firing and glazing your work with one glaze of your choice, so you’ll receive beautifully finished pieces ready to pick up after 2–4 weeks.
​
Duration: 3 hours
Price: 75 € per person

No prior experience is needed - just bring your creativity!
2-Day Workshop – Refine & Glaze Your Own Pieces
Take your ceramics to the next level.
This extended workshop gives you more time to create, refine, and decorate your pieces with care. On day 1, you’ll handbuild your pieces under my guidance, focusing on shape, proportion, and design.
On day 2 (after the bisque firing), you’ll work with real ceramic glazes, bringing vibrant colors, textures, and glossy finishes to your creations - results that are richer and more exciting than a one-day session can offer.
​
Duration: Day 1 - 3,5 hours
Day 2 - 2,5 hours
​
Price: 125 € per person
​
Perfect for anyone who wants more control over the final outcome and a deeper creative experience.​
3-Day Workshop – From Clay to Glazing
Immerse yourself fully in the ceramic process.
​
This in-depth workshop guides you through the complete ceramic journey. Over the first two days, you’ll handbuild, refine, and decorate your pieces, creating at least two unique items - for example a mug and a tumbler with different techniques (or anything you like!). On the third day (after the bisque firing), you’ll glaze your pieces yourself, giving them a personal touch and bringing them to life.
​
Duration: Day 1 - 3 hours
Day 2 - 2,5 hours
Glazing - 2,5 hours
​
Price: 165 € per person
​
Ideal for those who want full creative control and a hands-on, immersive experience in ceramics.
Parent + Child Clay Workshop (Ages 6–12)
Create side by side and make handmade memories.
​
In this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop, you and your child will shape your own ceramic pieces using easy handbuilding techniques.
You can choose to create one shared piece or each make something individual - bowls, small sculptures, cups, or imaginative creations are all welcome. The focus is on enjoying the process, experimenting with textures and details, and spending quality time together.
​
After the workshop, I will carefully dry, fire, and glaze your pieces in a transparent or soft white glaze that beautifully highlights all textures and patterns. Your finished ceramics will be ready to pick up after approximately 2–4 weeks.
​
If you would like to add color yourselves, you can also book an optional additional glazing session after the bisque firing, where you and your child can decorate your pieces with ceramic glazes. You can decide during the workshop!
​
​Duration: 3 hours
Price: 95 € per duo (1 adult + 1 child)
Recommended age: 6–12 years
​
Clay can be messy. Please wear comfortable clothes that don’t mind a little creativity.
Surface Decoration: Engobes, Underglazes & Glazes
In the workshops, you’ll work with different ceramic surface techniques, each offering a distinct look and creative possibilities. From soft, matte finishes to detailed illustrations and glossy, glass-like surfaces, these materials allow you to personalize your pieces and give them their final character.
Engobes
Engobes are liquid clay with added pigments, applied to leather-hard or bone-dry clay. Engobes are great for soft, matte surfaces, subtle color areas, and painterly effects that become part of the clay body itself.
Underglazes
Colored slips designed for detailed decoration. They can be painted, drawn, or layered onto leather-hard or bisque-fired pieces and allow for precise lines, patterns, and illustrations. Underglazes are usually finished with a transparent glaze.
Glazes
Glass-forming coatings applied after bisque firing. Glazes melt in the kiln and create glossy, satin, or textured surfaces. They add depth, shine, and make the piece fully food-safe and waterproof.
Glazes can also be layered to create exciting color interactions and unique surface effects.
Additional Information
Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty. Clay dust and glaze stains may not wash out completely.
Please bring your own snacks and drinks if needed.
I will provide you with tea and cookies :)
