WORKSHOPS
Every month we organize various workshops in our studio. Most of them don't require any previous experience.
The groups are small (5 people) and run for 2-3 hours; so you get plenty of individual attention and guidance from our experienced ceramic artist, Bojana Ristevski Mlaker.
Each workshop includes all required materials (clay, tools, glaze, kiln firing). Finished pieces can be picked up at the studio 7-10 days after the workshop.
All pieces are fired at 1250° and are dishwasher safe.
