A creative day at niho Ceramics studio with AstraZeneca:
Exploring wheelthrowing, hand building and painting
Last weekend we had the incredible opportunity to host a worldwide gathering for AstraZeneca at niho Ceramic Studio in Sant Pere de Ribes, near Barcelona. With 18 participants from different corners of the globe, we transformed the studio into an interactive space filled with creativity, laughter, and a shared love for ceramics. The event was designed to give everyone a hands-on introduction to different pottery techniques, making it a memorable day for both beginners and experienced artists alike.
We set up three workstations to give each participant a comprehensive experience:
1_Wheelthrowing
At this station, participants had the chance to try their hand at throwing on the pottery wheel. With guidance from our experienced instructors, they learned the basics of shaping and centering clay. It was wonderful to see the excitement as each person transformed a lump of clay into a potential masterpiece!
2_Hand building with coiling technique
For those who love working with their hands in a more tactile way, our second station focused on hand building using the coiling technique. This method allowed everyone to express their creativity freely, experimenting with form and texture in a relaxed, fun setting.
3_Painting pre-fired ceramic pieces
At the third station, participants could let their artistic side shine by painting pre-fired ceramic pieces. It was a great way to add a personal touch to their creations, and many took this opportunity to explore their individual styles and ideas.
Between the stations, we set up a bar with refreshments to keep the energy high and provide a space for everyone to relax and chat. It was a pleasure to see how much fun everyone had, moving from one activity to the next, laughing, sharing tips, and getting creative.
The client was thrilled with how the day unfolded, and we had an absolute blast hosting this event for AstraZeneca. It was a rewarding experience to see so many people enjoying ceramics, trying new techniques, and getting a taste of what it’s like to work in a pottery studio.
