This is a workshop for anyone who wants to try ceramics. We go through three different techniques: rolling, thumbing and ringling. From these techniques you can make yourself a cup, a bowl, a saucer, a candlestick, etc. We have spot colors to then paint patterns or motifs on their work. At the end of the workshop, you will be able to choose which glaze you want for your work. After the workshop, we burn and glaze your creations. About 3 weeks later you can come and pick up your things. Included:
- 2.5 h tutorial
- 600 g clay
- **Burning & glazing an item (create more for 150 kr each) **
No prior knowledge required.
**Why I love teaching pottery? **
The mud is the language that everyone can speak and everyone can understand. I want to give my course participants the same peace and togetherness I feel when I get to work with my hands in the mud. You can create to make it something, or you can create to create and let your hand think.
Primeval soil
I am now in my 7th year with my hands in the mud. Urjord pottery was born from the fact that I worked a lot with self-mixed ash glazes. I was floored with fascination when I realized that materials such as the trees plucked from the ground over several decades, remain in the ashes after the fire and can create incredible glazes on ceramics. It is also the very first glaze ever used thousands of years ago. It felt very nice to be able to take something like ash that has already been used up once and find yet another purpose for it. The name URJORD represents this ancient process.
