HOW IT WORKS
Sculpting
You come to the studio and shape your piece. Over the next two weeks, it dries and goes through its first firing.
Glazing
At your second session, you apply glaze and leave your piece for a second firing.

During the class, you can make one or more subjects, depending on the level of difficulty you choose.

Your products undergo high-temperature firing, so the delivery time after the last firing can vary from 2 to 6 weeks.

  • Glazing session (1–1.5 hours)
  • You can make 2 to 5 small jewellery pieces per session
  • Pick-up: 2–6 weeks after final firing

Visit the studio on two separate days. On the first day, you and your child sculpt together or work on the wheel; two weeks later you return for glazing. During this time the piece fully dries and goes through its first firing.
This is a shared creative experience: parent and child work together, sharing one portion of clay (equivalent to one adult portion — 2 kg), creating a joint piece or separate ones. The child's participation is already included in the price — you pay for one adult.
A warm and creative format — quality time together, a first taste of ceramics, and a handmade keepsake to take home. 💛

Includes:
  • Sculpting session (2 hours)
  • Glazing session (1–1.5 hours)
  • One large piece or several medium ones
  • Children up to 8 years old

Perfect for those who can't come back for a second session. The entire process happens in a single day.
You work with clay on the wheel or by hand and create your own ceramic piece. You can add colour using ceramic underglazes (angobs). As an alternative, after the first firing, our masters can glaze your piece in one chosen colour.
After the session, your piece goes through drying and firing. Ready in 3–4 weeks.
A great format for first-timers, a creative break, or a unique souvenir — with no need to return for a second visit. 🤍

OUR MASTERS
We are a team of free-spirited, creative people inspired by our craft. We believe that sharing knowledge and experience is something truly wonderful!
  • Maria
    Founder & Hand Building Master
    Ceramics has entered my life deeply and for a long time. For over 6 years I've been exploring its magical properties and sharing my knowledge with everyone who wants to touch the world of forms and colourful glazes. In our classes, we don't just learn techniques — we spend time together, disconnect from the outside world, and enjoy the process. My main goal is your full immersion in creativity.

  • Kateryna
    Pottery Wheel & Hand Building Master
    Ceramics is my way of communicating with the world. For me, it's about physicality, contact, and interaction — a way to express through form what's hard to put into words. The process feels full of meaning, and the sheer variety of techniques opens up an enormous field for self-expression. It's an inspiration I love to share!
  • Olexandra
    Pottery Wheel & Hand Building Master
    Ceramics is my grounding and creative expression. I love the responsiveness of the material and its endless possibilities. I simply love making beautiful things. After graduating, I actively participated in exhibitions, but grew disillusioned with the "art for art's sake" approach. Now I believe my ceramics must always be functional and express my ideas.
  • Vika
    Hand Building, Pottery Wheel & Combined Courses
    I love creating utilitarian pieces that people use every day: tableware, vases. Working with clay is freedom of expression — a practice in letting go of control. For me, the beauty of a piece lies in its imperfection and the uniqueness of its form. And it's wonderful that ceramics embraces experimentation and the search for your own style.
