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 price. Our staff carefully load and unload the kilns to ensure your creations are fired safely and optimally. To promote quality and safety, students are not allowed to load or unload the kilns themselves.

What to Bring

For this course, you bring your own tools. The tutor will discuss this with you in the first lesson. It is also handy to bring an apron to keep your clothes clean and a tea or old towel. A starter toolsset and apron is available for purchase at the studio at the start of the course.

Use of clay and glaze

To ensure the quality of your pieces and the safety of our equipment, we ask all students to purchase their clay and glazes from us in the studio.

We offer a carefully selected range of high-quality materials. Our prices are comparable to wholesale prices, so you can be assured of good materials at reasonable prices.

It is therefore not allowed to bring clay and glazes from outside. This is to minimize the risk of damage to our kilns and pieces. Different clays and glazes can cause unforeseen reactions during firing, which can lead to defects or even dangerous situations. By using our range, we can guarantee consistent quality and a safe working environment for everyone.
