Absalon’s ceramics workshop invites you to a 5-day summer school in July and August. Together with other ceramic-curious people, you get the opportunity to learn techniques, play with materials and make beautiful, functional, artistic objects that you can take home.

There is one course in week 29 (July 19-23) and one in week 31 (August 2-6). Every day from 9 to 15.

You will be making a jug, a vase, and a dish in clay with techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab technique. You will also try your hand at color selection and coloring with slip. Absalon’s ceramicists are going to glaze all objects after the end of the course.

We start every day by moving our bodies before we immerse ourselves in ceramics, design, and decoration. We eat lunch together at 12 every day.

We usually sit together around long tables but these days we have divided the tables and each party of family and friends eat together. We serve the dinner at the tables and we are fewer participants.

The rest is as usual. We all enjoy the same menu at the same time, and you can still have a chat with a friend you don’t know yet – there is just a bit more space between you.

IMPORTANT INFO:

– Buy your tickets in one order if you wish to be seated together. Because of space regulations, it is not possible to buy single tickets at the moment.

– We wish to avoid queues at the entrance. Please arrive in good time. Your table is ready from 17:00. If you haven’t arrived before 17:45 we might sell you tickets to someone waiting in line.
