The “Atelier Chipoterie’” is a place opens to those who want to play with clay, a place to learn and also of conviviality, creativity and exchange.
On “chipote” (tinker?!) a lot with the clay, we tinker to center it, we tinker to throw, we tinker to glaze a pot, we tinker for small finishes…
I gave my first class at the «Atelier Chipoterie» in 2003.
it is equipped with 5 electric wheels, a space for slabbing, coiling, a large choice of homemade stoneware glazes, an electric oven of 250L, a gas oven of 150L and a garden for coffee breaks in summer .
- Maximum number of participants: 5
- Languages: French, Dutch, English
- Public: adults, teens, occasionally children .
3 Learning Modules
“Open atelier”
All levels combined, we work there according to our desires, throwing or hand building technique, we glaze our pots. I take turns taking care of everyone. I do not propose this course to start with the technique of throwing because my attention would be too monopolized by the beginner on the wheel, the others participants would be a little abandoned.
