FLOWER POT CLASS
Short class / 4 hours : This class is for people with little time or who has not worked with clay yet, and are curious about trying it out, or simply for people who would like to make its own flower pots!
In this class, we will play with the properties of clay to create a functional, yet personal, flower pot. Fired only once at low temperature (1050°C), the clay will remain slightly porous which allows the roots to breathe while the pot soaks the water and dispenses it to the plant when necessary.
› 140€ (incl. 19% VAT) for 4 hours on one day
› Materials, tools and single-firing are included in the price (40€).
› If for any reason you cannot come, please cancel your class at least 7 days in advance by email to get a full refund, after that deadline only 70% will be refund.
No previous experience with clay is required.
