Pottery classes in Madrid: what you will learn from the first session

Why sign up for pottery classes in Madrid?

If you're looking for a creative, relaxing activity with tangible results, pottery classes in Madrid are an excellent option. Whether you want to start from scratch or improve your technique, a pottery workshop offers a space to develop your manual skills, disconnect from stress, and connect with your artistic side.

What will you learn in your first pottery class?

No prior experience is necessary for your first class. You'll learn everything from the basics to practical techniques that will allow you to start creating your own pieces. Typical topics covered in a first session include:

  • Knowing the materials and tools: clay, potter's wheel, modeling tools, slips, glazes...

  • Basic manual modeling: pinching technique, coils or slabs.

  • Preparing the clay: how to knead it and remove air bubbles.

  • First contact with the potter's wheel (if offered): feeling of the clay, center and shape.

  • Basic decoration: simple textures, incisions, or application of engobes.

  • Drying and cooking process: explanation of baking and times.

Benefits of learning ceramics in a face-to-face workshop

In addition to learning an ancient artistic technique, these classes provide you with:

  • Relaxation and mindfulness: working with your hands helps you disconnect.

  • Developing creativity: each piece is unique, just like you.

  • Social and collaborative environment: you will meet people with the same interests as you.

  • Personal satisfaction: seeing the result of your effort in a real piece is very rewarding.
