GLAZE COURSE with Ludvig Hyrefelt ONE SPOT AVAILABLE!
We are so happy to once again offer a glaze course with both theory and practice in collaboration with Ludvig Hyrefelt.
This is a course for you who want to learn the basics of what a glaze consists of and be able to change it to suit your needs. Plenty of theory, led by Ludvig, is interspersed with practice, led by Karin and Nilla, so that you will feel confident starting to mix glazes from your own or existing recipes after completing the course.
Ludvig has been particularly interested in glazes during his years at Konstfack and, with his background in medicine, has a genuine theoretical foundation to stand on. Over the past two years, he has held a number of glaze courses around the country. Please read more about Ludvig at ludvighyrefelt.se and on Instagram @luddolera

WEEKEND COURSE
No prior knowledge is necessary; we will meet you at your current level and help you along the way with inspiration, logistics, and technique.
During the weekend course, we will work with hand-building techniques in ceramics—pinching, slab building, and coiling. These are techniques that allow you to create your own work without any prior experience working with clay.
There is a maximum of eight participants per course, and two teachers will guide you in our inspiring environment. The course includes 5 kg of clay (clay exceeding 5 kg costs an additional SEK 115/kg). We have several different stoneware glazes to choose from. After approximately two weeks, we will meet for glazing, so you can experience all the steps in the process from clay to finished ceramic work. During the weekend, we will serve homemade vegetarian soup and delicious coffee and snacks. Tea and a sandwich will be available during glazing.
