Throwing And Hand Building Ceramic And Pottery Workshop, Grafarvogur

These fun and informative workshops are designed for those who are curious about clay (half day workshop) or want to further their skills (full day workshop). The workshops are focused on hand-building, throwing, or a combination of both techniques. 

The half day workshop, ideal for beginners, is a great introduction to ceramic fundamentals. This is the start of your ceramic journey! It introduces the basic hand-building and wheel throwing techniques through practical demonstration and guidance. By the end of the class you will be able to use these two techniques at a basic level.

The full day workshop is for more experienced participants. You will be guided depending on your interests and level. We will have more time for extended demonstrations of both techniques and experiment to further develop your skills.

Working and living both in Iceland and Scotland for many years has influenced me very much. The beautiful nature, lava, mountains and rivers all is a inspiration into my art, important enough for me to want to share with others and clay is my medium to do this.

Enjoy a relaxing, creative time playing on the potter's wheel. Be prepared to experiment!
