Always wanted to learn pottery?
At NOMO Ceramics, you make potters’ dreams come true! Our pottery course guides you step by step through the craft, whether you’re completely new or already have some experience. Everyone progresses at their own pace and learns from one another in our cozy groups, which are a mix of participants with some wheel-throwing experience and beginners.

Beginner? No problem!
That’s perfect! Have you never worked with a pottery wheel? No worries! We begin at the start: kneading clay, centering on the wheel, creating a stable base and pulling up the walls. Before you know it, beautiful shapes emerge. We start with simple items like cups and bowls and gradually build up to more complex shapes. Initially, the clay might seem unpredictable, but with patience and the right guidance, you’ll master the technique more and more.

Advanced? For you too!
If you already have experience and want to refine your skills, our courses are the perfect opportunity to work on your own projects with professional guidance. Discover new techniques that will inspire your creativity. You’ll gain more and more control over the clay and discover the extensive possibilities of working on the pottery wheel.

Glazing and decorating
In this course, you’ll go beyond simply turning. You’ll also dive into decorating and glazing your ceramics, allowing you to create unique and stunning creations. Whether you want to refine your technique or reach new creative heights, you’ll find the support and inspiration you need with us.

Firing your work

At NOMO Ceramics, firing your ceramic work is included in the course fee. Our staff carefully load and unload the kilns to ensure that your creations are fired safely and correctly. To promote quality and safety, participants are not permitted to load or unload the kilns themselves. Only the work created during the lessons may be submitted for firing.

What to Bring

For this course, you should bring your own tools. The instructor can advise you on this. It’s also helpful to bring an apron so your clothing doesn’t get dirty, as well as a tea towel or old hand towel. A starter set and apron can be purchased in the studio at the start of the course. New participants receive a lovely welcome gift at the start of the first lesson, consisting of: a NOMO apron, a starter set of tools, and your first loaf of beige throwing clay.

Use of Clay and Glaze

To ensure the quality of your pieces and the safety of our equipment, we ask all participants to purchase their clay and any glazes from our studio shop.

We offer a carefully selected assortment of high-quality materials. Our prices are comparable to those of a wholesaler, so you can be sure of getting good materials at fair prices.

It is therefore not permitted to bring clay from outside. We only work with ready-made glazes from the brand Mayco in the studio (a nice selection is available in our studio shop, and if you want something else, you may purchase it elsewhere as well). This is to minimize the risk of damage to our kilns and pieces. Different types of clay and glazes can cause unforeseen reactions during firing, which could lead to defects or even dangerous situations. By using our range of clay and the Mayco glazes, we can ensure good quality and a safe working environment for everyone.
