Evening course
Slaggatan 29, 791 71 Falun
For 5 weeks we meet in the studio on Slaggatan in Falun to create in clay.
At the time of introduction, we go through the different hand building techniques (thumbing, ringling, rolling and sculpting, and I give a basic overview of the different moments and grips of turning.
On the following occasions we divide ourselves into turntables/respective hand construction stations and create together - 2 occasions at each station or all occasions at the same if the seats are sufficient. (For manual construction there is room for all, there are 4 turntables.)
After completing the course, I will scrub, glaze and smooth burn your creations.
(It is possible to purchase a separate glazing event for 995: -/ person, if you want to participate and learn more about this part of the process.)
On every occasion I offer coffee/tea and cake, and microphones are available in the room for those who want to bring something more nutritious.

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!
