A ten-week ceramics course where you learn to throw on the potter's wheel in the friendly studio at Vesterbro Bibliotek og Kulturhus. It suits complete beginners as well as those who want more practice with the basic techniques.
The course covers the fundamentals, including centring, opening and pulling up a cylinder, and shaping simple forms. Along the way you'll look at trimming, attaching handles and glazing, and get an introduction to the clay bodies suited to throwing and the tools used in the process. Each session ends with a thorough clean-up.
Your teacher, Marianne Krumbach, trained at the Designskolen in Kolding and works from her studio in Copenhagen NV. Her recent work has centred mainly on modelled, nature-inspired sculptural objects, with thrown projects appearing from time to time. She has exhibited widely in Denmark and abroad. Marianne is also teaching a ten-week course at the same venue starting on the same day, so this is a chance to learn from an established ceramicist in a well-equipped studio.
