sequence

On the day of arrival at 6 p.m., we’ll have dinner together and go over a few general guidelines regarding meals and the daily schedule for the vacation.

In the morning, usually at 9 a.m., we go for a walk (about 10,000 steps). The Taunus Pottery Studio is located in the heart of the idyllic Taunus region. We can set out directly from the front door and walk a different route each day, radiating out from the studio. Breakfast is served at 11 a.m., preferably consisting of fruit, nuts, yogurt, and oatmeal. On Wednesdays after breakfast, there is time for excursions in the surrounding area.

At 1 p.m., we start pottery for about 3 hours.

Anyone who’d like to can cook with me. At 6 p.m., we have a hot dinner. Afterward, you can play some games (we have a well-stocked game cabinet) or just sit together and relax.

On Wednesdays, there is free time between meals—perfect for an outing, for example. There are also lovely places to visit in the surrounding area on Sundays before and Saturdays after your trip.

A tennis court (2 km away) is available for play (5 EUR/hour); rackets, etc., are provided.

Arrival

On the day of arrival, participants will arrive between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. Pickup at the train station in Usingen-Wilhelmsdorf is available upon request.

More cannot be done. All my expectations were more than met.

It was a wonderful week. You could do pottery as much and as long as you wanted. In the evenings, we always had a nice game round, not mandatory, but I really enjoyed it. The rooms are very simply designed but serve their purpose. The hostess is very open and communicative. For me, one of my best vacations, and the morning walk was wonderful. I would love to come back.

The vacation was wonderful and really did us good. The walks and occasional exercise in the morning were pleasant and just right (not too much and not too little). The hostess cooked delicious meals and made sure that nothing was missing. You could always ask about the pottery and get advice or help if needed. I was able to realize a lot of projects and "let off steam" creatively. I couldn't have imagined a better retreat and would love to come again in the future. I can only recommend it (for people who like to be creative and hike and appreciate a family atmosphere).

Met great people. Everything was very informal. The course instructor responded to the participants. It was all very relaxed and informal. You could give free rein to your creativity when making pottery. Very good food in the evening. All in all, a great experience.

I had a wonderfully relaxing week. In the morning we did sports (walking, gymnastics, yoga, line dancing) and after breakfast and a short break we did some pottery. In the evening we cooked and ate together and then played games. The hostess is a very nice, patient and kind person. My room with a double bed was functionally furnished and very quiet. The pottery workshop is well equipped, you could choose between different types of clay and there was also plenty of inspiration in the form of books, etc. I arrived by car, so I was able to take a trip into the surrounding area on the free Wednesday afternoon. It would probably have been a bit more complicated with public transport. I am happy to recommend the stay there.
