ONE-DAY TURNING CLASS

The lathe is a traditional tool used by potters that consists of two round plates that rotate on themselves. By kicking the base plate, the top plate begins to spin, allowing you to shape the piece from the centrifugal force applied in the dance of your hands on the materiality of the clay.

In this class, you will be able to produce a piece of your choice: whether it's a cup, a glass, a bottle, a bowl, a plate, a small cup, or a vase. We will teach you how to use this interesting tool, as well as share our knowledge in the technique of kneading, among others. We will show you the possibilities that exist to make your piece something exceptional.

DURATION

6 hours (Monday-Friday)

INCLUDES A MEAL

This class must be scheduled at least one week in advance and is only held during the low season (January, February, March, September). It is subject to the schedule and availability of the ceramics team.
