About this tour
Spend five days building ceramic skills in a professional studio run by internationally exhibited artisans Wendy and Eric Gingell in Spain. You'll work with clay, learn hand-building and decoration techniques, and fire pieces in the kiln. Based at their accredited Catalan workshop, this course suits anyone wanting to develop a serious practice rather than dabble—expect focused studio time to create a substantial body of work alongside instruction from craftspeople whose pieces sit in museum collections across North America and Europe.
Highlights
- Five days of dedicated studio time with working ceramicists
- Learn hand-building and surface decoration from practising artists
- Fire your pieces in a professional kiln
- Work in an accredited Catalan ceramics studio
- All materials, tools, and aprons provided
- Studio founders exhibited at Smithsonian and Barcelona Design Museum
What to expect
You'll arrive at a functioning ceramics workshop, not a tourist classroom. Expect hands-on instruction in hand-building methods and decorative finishes, with time to experiment and develop work between teaching sessions. Kiln firings happen during the course, so you'll see pieces from concept through completion. The studio operates as a working space where Wendy and Eric create their own pieces, giving you insight into how professional potters actually work. Bring an open mind rather than prior experience—the course accommodates all levels, though it demands genuine engagement over five days.
Good to know
All clay, tools, and firing are included. Aprons provided. If you want finished pieces shipped, arrange that separately—it's not covered. The studio is wheelchair accessible and close to public transport. Children under five can attend, though they'll need adult supervision.
