Throw Pottery in the Morning - 10-Week Course with Marianne Krumbach

Beginner's pottery throwing course at Keramikværkstedet, 4th floor of Vesterbro Library and Cultural Centre. The course is for those who have never thrown before or want to improve their basic techniques.

Teaching starts with centering, pulling up to a cylinder, and throwing simple forms, then moves on to trimming, attaching handles, and glazing. You'll also get an introduction to different stoneware clays suitable for throwing and a review of relevant tools. Each session ends with shared cleanup - participants are expected to help keep the studio clean.

The instructor is Marianne Krumbach, trained at the Design School in Kolding, who works from her studio in Copenhagen NW. Her work spans modeled, nature-inspired sculptural objects and thrown projects, and she has exhibited both in Denmark and abroad.
