Structure
You will learn various hand-building techniques (no throwing), how to create different shapes in the best way, various decorating techniques, as well as an overview of engobes and underglazes. We also learn about wedging, clay recycling, and other aspects of the ceramic process. Depending on your current skill level, your instructor will help you further develop.
During the course, we will successively fire what is dry enough. By the last session, everything made during the course will be bisque fired, as we will then jointly glaze our works. You can either dip in transparent glaze or, after a review of brush-on glazes, you can also use them if desired (small Mayco jars are available for purchase at 50 SEK/jar, approximately 35ml).
Session 1: Mandatory. Focus: review of basic techniques
Session 2: Focus: review of various decoration techniques as well as engobes and underglazes
Session 3-6: Practice and demonstration of various desired elements
Session 7: Mandatory: Glazing
Once the works are glazed, it will take another approximately 5-6 weeks before they are ready for pick-up. We will send an email as soon as the pieces are ready for pick-up.
The instruction primarily consists of practical work under the guidance of the course leader. Max 13 participants

Sustainable materials
At Atelje 7, we are very keen on the environment and work according to a sustainability plan in everything we do. The clays we purchase therefore come as much as possible from Witgerts, which has a strong environmental policy. The clays we provide are available in many different colors and grog levels.
