Looking for a calming and creative experience in Amsterdam?

Join our Pottery Wheel Workshop and discover the magic of working with clay. Whether you're a complete beginner or just curious to try something new, this hands-on session invites you to slow down, focus, and create with your hands.

Guided by a professional instructor, you’ll learn the basics of wheel throwing step by step, from centering the clay to shaping your own cup, bowl, or unique form. Pottery isn’t about perfection, but about rhythm, flow, and enjoying the process.

This 3-hour workshop is both relaxing and energising, and a great way to meet others in a small, intimate group setting.

What you’ll get:

• Your own handmade ceramic piece
• All materials included (clay, tools, wheel, guidance)
• First (bisque) firing included
• Tea and a small treat

Good to know:
After the workshop, your piece stays with us to dry and be fired (this takes about 2–3 weeks).
You can then pick it up, or join a glazing workshop to finish your piece yourself.

To book this workshop go to our website.

Open Atelier is a relaxed creative event where you can work with your hands in an inspiring studio — no long-term commitment and no prior experience required.
During this two-hour open studio session, you choose one creative direction to focus on and work at your own pace. You are free to experiment, make, and explore, with professional guidance available whenever you need it.

What can you make?
You choose one creative direction per session, such as:

• Painting
• Clay
• Upcycling
• Mosaic
• Glazing
• Beading

For upcycling, many participants bring their own items. In previous sessions, people have given old T-shirts, shoes, or other forgotten pieces a completely new life using paint, textiles, and other materials. You are very welcome to bring something from home if you’d like.

Please note that glazed ceramic work needs to be fired in the kiln. These pieces cannot be taken home the same day and can be collected at a later moment.

All materials are included, as well as tea and a cookie. Friday evening sessions also include a drink. Doors open 15 minutes before the session starts.

If you have any specific questions before booking, feel free to send me a message here on Meetup.
