KURSANGEBOTE

In my light-flooded studio I regularly offer courses: here you can learn to work with clay, build your own vessels, create sculptures out of clay or concrete or even make cyanotypes (an old photographic technique). I look forward to seeing you!

In the small boutique next door I offer sculptures, paintings and crockery for sale. Have a look inside! The gallery is open every Thursday from 14 - 21 h. (also by appointment)

Admission is free.


• Open Ceramic Workshop

If you have always wanted to work with clay but don't have the facilities at home or would like to collaborate and exchange ideas with others, you are welcome to the OPEN CERAMICS WORKSHOP.
Here you can get involved in the respective proposed theme and expand your creative skills. I support you in the design, impart the necessary knowledge and provide you with the necessary materials and tools.
Or do you already have a concrete idea in mind that you would like to realize? Then I will be happy to help you with valuable tips and suggestions. Advanced course: Here we work specifically on projects to familiarise ourselves with different techniques and design options. Advanced course: Here we work specifically on projects to familiarise ourselves with different techniques and design options.Advanced course: Here we work specifically on projects to familiarise ourselves with different techniques and design options.

• Create relief images in a fun way

Do you feel like spending a creative afternoon or evening?

I invite you to a 3-hour workshop in which we playfully create three-dimensional images with clay and plaster.

It's always fascinating to see the finished result! The process is very simple, you don't need any previous experience and it is also suitable for children. It doesn't matter if you work geometrically, realistically or experimentally.... everyone takes home their own personal little work of art!

 • Character heads (weekend course)

In this class we will sculpt a human head, working from photos.
You will learn the basics of anatomy, theories of design and the golden ratio
but also why the choice of tone is an important criterion for a good design.
On Friday we will do the preparations for our setup.
After modeling, on Sunday we will discuss some tips for surface design and finishing.
Approximately one week after the set-up, the larger heads can be prepared for firing. (Appointment for this will be made with the course participants, duration approx. 1 hour).
This is not necessary for small objects.

Price: 2400 DKK per person (max. 6 participants)
(Material and fire will be charged according to consumption)

Please bring photos of the head of the person you want to model to Friday. It is helpful to take as many different views as possible (frontal, side view, three-quarter profile, back view) as well as some details (e.g. eye, mouth, etc.).
It is best to print the photos on paper. (on the cell phone, Ipad or similar is not so suitable).

• Cyanotypes - the game with light and shadow

In this course we will create blue photographs with the help of the sun, the so-called CYANOTYPIES.
Using simple tools and non-toxic chemicals, we will make our own photographic paper and expose it to the sun. Instead of negatives, we use plants, objects, etc., which we place on the light-sensitive paper. After the exposure, we can simply develop our image in water. 
Within this process there is a lot of room for experimentation and improvisation, what comes out are fascinating shadow images in different shades of blue and white.

• Wildlife (weekend course): 

Starting with sketches, photos, collages or small models you bring along, you will learn to translate your favorite animal into a sculptural form.

This can be a realistic representation, an abstraction or a caricature. 

At the beginning we will think about the characteristics and special features of the respective animal in order to be able to give it a specific character. I will introduce you to different modeling techniques, and show you how best to build your sculpture. We will also think about the surface designs.

Approximately one week after the build-up, larger animal sculptures can be prepared for firing. (Appointment for this will be made with the course participants, duration approx. 1 hour). This is not necessary for small objects.
