Over six weeks you learn to throw clay on the wheel, covering centring, throwing and trimming, and glazing, with individual guidance along the way. The course suits anyone who wants to get absorbed in ceramics and work with their hands. No prior experience is needed, just curiosity and patience with the process.
Lessons alternate between shared demonstrations and one-on-one feedback. You are introduced to basic throwing and trimming techniques and different approaches to glazing, and you work with clay properties, tools and handling so you build a solid grounding in the craft. Safety and good working habits in the studio are covered too, so everyone can work confidently with clay and glazes.
Your teacher, Tina Marie Bentsen, trained at Designskolen Kolding and runs her own studio and shop. She makes both functional pieces and one-off stoneware, with a focus on how form and proportion work together with glaze colour and texture.
