Henriette has a great collection of examples and she has a lot of experience in giving tips and tricks for your work.
The studio is light , spacious and well equipped. There is a clay paste extruder for hollow clay pipes, there are three potters wheels: two electric Shimpo's and one kick wheel and three electric kilns .
The class is a handbuilding-with-clay one ! To learn throwing on the wheel, you'll need to do about 3 private lessons first, with a small group of max 3 people. ( normally 2 persons)When you are quite confident and quite independent,
you can practice during the class or on your own.
Everyone works at his or her own project . Experience is not necessary as the approach is very personal .
The courses run from September to July. You can start at any level, and enroll in a course if there is space . Missed classes can be made up within 11 weeks. It is also possible to occasionally swap a lesson.
