Pottery wheel course near Barcelona

Anyone who takes a piece of clay in their hands for the first time may think it is not so complicated to shape it after all. However, to develop this activity as an independent professional ceramicist, creating original pieces for artistic, ornamental, or utilitarian purposes requires training. Ceramicist Penélope Vallejo passionately believes in the professional training of aspiring ceramicists. For this reason, she organises weekly classes of 2 hours in which she teaches her theoretical and practical skills to small groups of 5 people. At her workshop, they have the possibility to complete up to 3 levels of the course and learn the basics of the craft.

The potter's wheel is the most popular name given to these spinning devices, used by pottery artisans to create a piece of clay or ceramic paste. Providing the centrifugal force to a mass of clay placed in the centre of the wheel, using human or electric traction, is a true art that has its science. The ceramicist Penélope Vallejo offers an intensive course with a duration of 8 hours over 2 days to pottery lovers or beginners. Students do not require any additional knowledge or previous experience and she guarantees that the groups will be small and the attention personalised.
