Small-group pottery class in Paris – Atelier Confidentiel | Slow Potter

95.00  2 hours 30 minutes

The Confidential Workshop is our most accessible ceramics class — without being the least refined. Limited to three participants, it preserves what larger classes tend to lose: individual attention, the ability to ask questions, and the pleasure of progressing in a space that never feels crowded.

In the bright setting of Slow Potter, in the heart of Paris’s 11th arrondissement, you work on the pottery wheel with Armelle, who adapts her guidance to your level and your pace. The small group dynamic — relaxed, curious, and friendly — makes the experience both enriching and light.

Your pieces are dried, fired and glazed in the studio, and will be ready for collection a few weeks later.

An ideal format for a first introduction to pottery in Paris — or to return to clay without the pressure of a traditional class.

1 session (~2h30)
Ideal for beginners
  • Maximum 3 participants
  • Personalized guidance
  • 2 to 3 finished pieces included

Description

Small group pottery workshop in Paris

This format welcomes a maximum of three participants per session of approximately 2h30. The limit is not symbolic: it ensures that Armelle can genuinely follow each person, correct a gesture, suggest a variation, and answer a question without others having to wait. Everyone works at their own pace and has equal access to materials and guidance.

How the wheel-throwing session unfolds

  • Introduction or refinement of wheel throwing
  • Work on the pottery wheel — at your own pace
  • Individual guidance throughout the session

After your pottery class

Your pieces (2 to 3 depending on the pace of the session) are taken care of:

  • Slow drying
  • Bisque firing
  • Glazing and final firing

Typical timeframe: 4 to 8 weeks. Clay takes time — that is also what makes it valuable.
