Introduction to turning workshop at Voisins-le-Bretonneux (78)

Activity description :

Jean-Baptiste and Élise, two passionate ceramists, warmly welcome you to their workshop. You'll start with a tour of the premises and a theoretical introduction to the history of ceramics, basic techniques, and the diversity of clays and finishes. This convivial moment will give you a better understanding of the richness of this art form and prepare you for your first creative experiences.

Workshop schedule (3h) :

• Welcome drink and introduction to the workshop.
• Practical introduction : learn to center, pierce and shape clay.
• Guided creation of unique pieces such as a bowl, cup or soliflore.
• Customization with engobes (a mixture of oxide and earth) for colorful finishes.

Your work will be dried and fired by Jean-Baptiste and Élise, then ready for use or decoration. You can pick them up later, transformed into genuine objets d'art. A great way to learn ceramics in a warm and inspiring setting!
