Ceramics Retreat Week Schedule

This structure of the week is build in such a way that it is accesible for beginners an intermediate in ceramics. If you already have (some) experience, you have enough time to work on your skills in a varietie of techniques. We focus on both hand building and wheel throwing. We believe that both area’s are equally important in the ceramics process.

The first days are for starting techniques. If you already have experience, you can choose to follow the demo’s en instructions, or you can start working and practicing by yourself. Note this is not a week for professional production. There is a reasonable limit of what you can keep to fire. (max. 5 pieces /max. volume 5 liters).

We host a maximum of 16 people in Casa ‘Ohana. Each day we divide the group (max. 8 people per group) to work in two different area’s (the handbuilding area and the wheel throwing area). We switch after lunch time. Each participant get’s at least 3 hours on the wheel per day. And in the last days there is a bit more natural flow depending on the things you want to work on.

We fire all items made in the week after everything dried well, wich is most likely when everyone already left. There is the option to choose a color and we will glaze your pieces, or we can bisque fire your items for you to be able to glaze them some other time. Shipping costs are charged seperately.
