Course structure
You will learn various hand-building techniques (no wheel-throwing), how to best create different shapes, various decoration techniques, as well as an overview of engobes and underglazes. We will also learn about wedging, clay recycling, and other aspects of the ceramic process. Depending on your existing skills, your instructor will help you further develop.
During the course, we will gradually fire pieces that are dry enough. By the last session, everything made during the course will be bisque fired, when we will collectively glaze our works. You can either dip in transparent glaze or, after an introduction to brush-on glazes, you can also use those if desired (small Mayco jars available for purchase at SEK 50/each, approx. 35ml).
Session 1: Mandatory. Focus: overview of basic techniques
Session 2: Focus: overview of various decoration techniques as well as engobes and underglazes
Session 3-6: Practice and demonstration of various requested elements
Session 7: Mandatory: Glazing
Once the pieces are glazed, it will take an additional 5-6 weeks before they are ready for pickup. We will send an email as soon as the pieces are ready for pickup.

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