Throwing on the pottery wheel is a uniquely immersive experience. Throughout the pottery course, you’ll delve into the art of ceramics, from preparing the clay for the wheel to centering it, lifting the walls, and crafting your own vessels. As you master the technique of centering clay, you’ll also find a centering of the mind, allowing you to detach from the bustle of daily life and fully engage in the present moment.

In contrast, the handbuilding pottery course offers a vast array of creative possibilities, allowing you to shape clay into any form imaginable. At niho Ceramics pottery studio, you’ll explore a comprehensive range of handbuilding techniques, including pinching, coiling, and slab building, enabling you to craft both functional pieces and decorative objects. With each step of the pottery course, your creations will grow in complexity, as you blend different ceramic techniques to produce truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Here, your creativity knows no bounds, limited only by the size of the kiln.

In our studio, we work exclusively with stoneware clay, firing it twice for optimal durability and aesthetic appeal. The initial bisque firing reaches temperatures of 900 degrees, followed by glazing and a second firing to 1240 degrees in our Nabertherm kiln. The resulting ceramics are not only visually stunning but also food-safe, dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe, making them ideal for everyday use.
