Extra classes, practice
For beginners and semi-advanced students of the current courses, we offer a series of extra lessons. Not to learn new things, but to practice the skills you learned
last season, bowls and cilinders. The aim of the lessons is to increase your skills through practice.
The teacher will also conduct a little project making a pot with a lid in the last lessons, combining two bowls or cilinders. Fun to make and a fun ending to these practice classes.
This is a series of 6 lessons of 2,5 hours each.
costs:
The prize is €195,00 including 2kg of finshed pottery.

Throwing colored Clay
In addition to the white-baking clay that we usually have, clay is available in various colours from yellow, red, brown to black. In this course we will look at what can be done with colour. Not only does the colour of the clay itself give the pot its own look, the glaze also gives different results on different surfaces. Different colours of clay can be mixed to get a two-coloured or even marbled effect. Carving (sgraffito, but then a bit more extreme) in coloured clay will also be discussed. In addition, of course, there will also be a lot of practice on the basic technique. We'll throw and trim pottery and galze it with a transparent or a shiny white.

pottery beginners classes
Pottery; it looks so easy and it seems so wonderful to do! Well, it isn't really easy, but you can learn it and it certainly is fun!
Hoeboer Pottery offers a structured lesson program, in which the basic skills of pottery are treated step by step. There is a lot of practice, both directly on the wheel and 'from the hump'. The finishing is also treated, that is to say finishing the bottom, the decoration and simple glazing.
