About

Entirely dedicated to the practice of wheel throwing, this intensive workshop allows you to learn or deepen essential movements: centering the clay, pulling it up, hollowing it out, and giving it shape, at your own pace and through repetition. From Monday, October 19th to Thursday, October 22nd, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, it's time for pure experimentation, without firing or final pieces to take home, since the clay is recycled to be worked on again!

Our take on this event

Trade your phone for a pottery wheel and master the rhythmic flow of the clay this weekend. You will sharpen your technical precision by focusing entirely on the process of turning and reclaiming every scrap of material. It is the perfect setup to refine your skills and finally get the hang of those elusive centered forms.

Focus on your wheel-throwing skills during this intensive workshop held at the Centre Paris Anim' Point du Jour in the 16th arrondissement. Designed for adults 18 and over, the course emphasizes the fundamental techniques of centering, lifting, and shaping clay through repetitive practice. This four-day session offers a unique opportunity to explore the tactile craft of pottery without the pressure of finishing pieces, as the clay is recycled rather than fired. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users, ensuring a welcoming environment for all participants from October 19th to October 22nd, 2026.
