Introduction to pottery & ceramics in Aubagne (13)

Activity description :

Come and discover ceramics with Véronique, who will be your teacher for a 2h30 workshop. You'll learn 2 different techniques: pinching and throwing!

Course of the activity (2h30) :

• Theoretical part: Véronique explains how to handle clay.
• Practical part: with 2 hands in the clay, you'll learn the ancestral technique for shaping your first bowl using chamotte clay (with grains). This is the pinched technique, which is performed without a wheel.
• You'll also have the opportunity to try your hand at the wheel with smooth clay to shape your second bowl.
• Véronique will fire your two bowls, and you'll have to come back a few weeks later to recover them in their final shape!

Who hasn't dreamed of making ceramics and shaping a bowl with their own ten fingers? It's an experience not to be missed if you're visiting Aubagne.
