Ceramics for beginners in Fribourg

In a small town in the Swiss canton of Fribourg, ceramicist Peter Fink is determined to teach novices and false beginners the theoretical and practical knowledge of turning and enamelling ceramics. In this course Peter’s students will be taught the basics of several ceramic shaping techniques and they will familiarise themselves with different types of ceramic decoration. After five sessions, students will leave with a personally made everyday ceramic object that they will be able to enamel and embellish. The course is by appointment only.

Ceramicist Peter Fink made it his goal to pass on his know-how to the next generation. To achieve this Peter created a five-day intensive ceramic course for those who wish to learn the craft from scratch or to progress and perfect the technique of pottery wheel turning. In the intensive course, each day is eight hours of teaching. Peter’s students will practise various manufacturing exercises, master clay preparation and sharpen their practical knowledge in order to craft basic ceramic shapes, as well as complex pieces. Peter can help coordinate accommodation for the duration of the course. The course is by appointment only.
