Book a delightful experience at the throwingwheel for you and your friends or family!
After a review of basic grips and turning techniques, you will work on your own throwingwheel under my supervision throughout the entire session. During these two hours you will have time to create between 2-4 objects, depending on how fast you get to the technology.
After the session, I keep your creations to dry slowly in a humidity cabinet before firing and glazing them in a beautiful and durable white glaze. The products are ready for pickup approximately 4-6 weeks after the actual workshop.

About Made by Pihl/ L' Atelier
Have you ever felt the frustration that time never seems to be enough, and that what gets stepped on is always what you really want to do, what makes you feel your best and energizes you?
I have always felt at my best when I got to be creative and create in different forms - painting, drawing, singing, writing, cultivating, decorating, baking, sculpting... Still, these are the things that usually end up last on my list of priorities for a large part of my adult life, and I think there are too many with me.
However, during a “try-on-night” in clay in 2017, something was awakened in me - partly I found clay as a material, but also a realization that I needed to give space to my creative needs in order to feel good. I came home with a sense of satisfaction that I had not felt for a long time, and decided there and then to get my own ceramic kiln. The fact that clay became the medium of creation was thus more or less a coincidence, although it has always appealed to me because it is both versatile and wayward.
One gave way to the other, and after 25 years as a teacher, in autumn 2019 I made the leap and started Made by Pihl, with the vision to make room for that creative power for myself as well as for others.
My goal is to create sustainable and unique utility products and art for the design and quality conscious, and at the same time inspire and give space for more people to create for themselves.
Warmly welcome here!
