Ceramic Kingdom

In this course you will learn the basics of 3D printing with ceramics. This includes: getting to know the printer, preparing the clay, filling the cartridge with clay, making a 3d model using online 3d software, converting the data into a printable format (slicing software), and printing a small simple shape, approximately the size of a cup.

In this class you will develop your own glaze, textures and surfaces. Theoretical discussions teach you to read cones and observe glaze results. You will learn about fluxes and how to better understand the firing process.

*Please note: An additional 1 hour follow up session is scheduled between students flexibly a week after the workshop. Students discuss the results of their experiments and pick up their test pieces. (included in price).

Join one of our regular glaze classes to learn how to apply glaze to pieces that have already been bisque-fired. Bring your own pieces, or use “leftover” pieces from the studio. We explore techniques such as pouring, dipping, brushing, removing, and applying layers.

Please note: 1st Session Handbuilding (*3hrs*), 2nd Session Glazing (*2hrs*). Both classes start at the same time, but the 2nd class is only 2hrs long.

Embrace the imperfections and irregularities of handbuilding. Learn techniques such as slab building, pinching and coiling to create unique forms. Explore surface techniques such as texturing & glaze decorating.

Improve your skills on the potter’s wheel by learning to throw Vase/Bottle Forms & Plates. Refine your trimming skills, and try some new techniques.

3 sessions @ 2,5 hours each = 7,5 class hours

Learn to create porcelain mini pots and rings with colored slip on the mini pottery wheel. After the workshop, your mini pots &/or rings will be high-fired unglazed. No previous experience necessary.

*Please note: This is a 'try-the-mini' workshop. To deepen your exploration of mini pottery book a Mini Pottery Private Session or buy one of our Mini Pottery Wheel kits (see link at www.ceramickingdomberlin.com/gift-certificates).

Learn how our clay 3d printer works, including techniques such as: preparing clay slip, filling the cartridge, controlling the printer's motion and air pressure. Then learn slicing software to engineer a 3D design into a successful clay form. Then print your design!

*Please note: if you want glazed results, you must book an additional glazing session or join a flexible glazing class, minimum 7 days after printing session.

After your work from previous sessions has been fired to a bisque temperature, you can follow-up by learning how to apply glaze to create finished work.

Private Sessions meet your individual needs, and are organised flexibly according to your skills. In the first session we work with wet clay in a process-oriented manner.

*Please note: Follow-up session/s or independent work in the studio is required to obtain finished results.

After your clay has dried to a leather-hard state, you can follow-up by making any changes to the structure or the surface of your piece/s before you let your work dry out completely.

Produce a 1- or 2-part mold of a chosen object (maximum 15 cm in one direction). Learn to find the dividing line, build up clay walls around your object, and mix & pour plaster. Basic principles of slip-casting are explained. After this session you will have a finished plaster mold which will need to dry for at least one week before it can be used with wet clay. To continue to the slip-casting process, an additional slip-casting session or independent work in the studio is required.

Bring your own plaster mold that you already produced, or use a ready-made mold from the studio. Theoretical and technical aspects of slip casting will be explained, followed by hands-on process. You will learn to mix liquid clay & pour slip it into your mold, as well when & how to de-mold.

Explore contrasting patterns using the Nerikomi technique. Learn how to mix & layer different colors of clay with Murrina patterns and slab rolling. First we make Nerikomi blocks and from there we make various handbuilt forms. Pieces will be fired and glazed with a transparent glaze for a glossy finish. Finished work (approx. 3-5 small pieces) can be picked up about two weeks after the final session.

*No previous experience necessary.
