How to prepare and operate your ceramic or glass kiln, including loading, programming, unloading, and safety.

In this beginners pottery class, participants will learn the basics of ceramic hand-building under a local ceramic artist’s loving gaze as they get to explore the endless possibilities and joys of working with clay. Participants will have the option of creating whatever they wish (mugs, planters, bowls, a sculpture, etc.) receiving guidance and knowledge along the way. Perfect for travelers seeking for fun activities in Buenos Aires, no prior ceramic experience is required and the class will taught in English and Spanish. The session will be around 2,5 hours, so we will have time to settle in, introduce ourselves and create something. In this comfortable and engaging atmosphere, we will have some snacks and wine and a carefully curated playlist to groove on while building our ceramics. You’ll also get to paint and decorate your creations using different tools and techniques.Materials, tools, light snacks and beverages will be provided. After the ceramic class, works made during the workshop will be glazed, fired and finished in our studio by us. Students will be able to pick up finished pieces on an arranged pick-up date. This may take up to 3/4 weeks. In case you'd be gone by then we can ship the pieces via FedEx to your hometown (please note shipping cost is not included in price). If you have any other questions regarding our art classes, please contact us at [email protected] We are looking forward to meeting you!
