Stoneware turning with Eva Koj - for advanced users

Meezen, Germany

Summary

Shape, precision and further development on the potter's wheel

This workshop is aimed at participants with previous knowledge who have already taken a course and would like to improve their skills on the potter's wheel. Under the guidance of ceramic artist Eva Koj, we will work on larger vessels and refine our technique and sense of form. The focus is on turning to measure and working "from the stick" to develop precise proportions and harmonious lines. If you like, you can design a teapot and turn and assemble the individual parts - body, spout, lid and handle. This creates individual pieces that combine precision craftsmanship with personal design.

What you can expect:
- Consolidation of the turning technique and working "from the stick"
- Development of a larger vessel or teapot
- Turning, attaching and assembling individual components
- Personal support from Eva Koj
