Pottery Lessons

Ceramics can be one of the most creative and fun arts. Although it may seem more intimidating to get into, once you learn the basics and get some materials it is very easy to continue and learn. Practically anything can be made in ceramics, from sculptures of people and animals, to objects such as model houses, cars, furniture. The trick to have fun while you make it and not be afraid to make mistakes and try new objects.

Me and the boys had a go of it and had a blast. Here are some of our creations which we learned to do from SCRATCH!Cups we made after throwing the clay, shaping, and painting. They are not dried or fired yet. It takes two weeks to get the finished product. I'll upload the photos then.





A local ceramic studio, Ceramic Studio Prague, offers courses from the beginner to the advanced artist. The proprietor, Ivan, is a very patient, funny, and talented person that is fluent in English, Czech, Bulgarian (native) and Serbo-Croatian.

Location:
CTIRADOVA 6 , Prague 4

Contact:
Ana/Ivan (both speak English) www.ceramic-studio.net There you will find detailed directions to the studio from just about anywhere in the city.
Please go to their web site and register for class. They will contact you with any additional information on how to get ahold of them.

Please let him know that you were recommended by me.

Good Luck and Have Fun
