Engobe + glaze brand12,00 €
In the studio, you can choose from a large selection of colorful engobe glazes and stoneware glazes, which you can use to paint your leathery works directly on the day of the course.
After your course, we will do the rest of the finishing for you:
Transparent glaze: We carefully coat your pieces with transparent glaze after firing the biscuit. This not only gives them a wonderful shine, but also makes them food safe and waterproof.
Glaze firing: Your treasures are then fired in a kiln at 1250 °C. This entire process takes about 4 to 5 days.
After that, your favorite items are ready for everyday use and ready to pick up!
Note about the additional service:
No quantity limit: The flat rate applies to all works that you make in class — there is no limit to the number of pieces.
You can either add this directly when booking as an add-on or decide spontaneously on site in the studio (10 Eur per person).
Schrühbrand12,00 €

In this first fire, residual moisture, crystal-bound water and organic components are dissolved from the dried molding and burned.
As a result, the blank solidifies and changes into a more stable state — the ideal basis for all further steps. :
