Great class to learn how to work with the wheel, shape and glaze your own ceramics pieces ! Violaine is a patient and attentive teacher, who does beautiful pieces herself. I really enjoyed learning the techniques and making my own pieces, and I would definitely recommend the classes!

Had a great experience with Violaine. Booked a private class for my boyfriend and I to learn, and she was very patient with us and showed us all the techniques step by step. We got to glaze our pieces and play around with the different colours and techniques which was cool to see how it all works.Overall great experience and she responds in a quick manner to everything. Would definitely do a class again ☺️

Embarrassing experience with this lady. Poor pottery skills, poor knowledge and very limited language skill that time combined with arrogant attitude equals better find someone competent and someone able to explain very basic yet essential theory supported by practice.Truly unrecorded. You might be very upset after all paying for such an amateur service.Seriously make an effort and find a real pottery teacher.

I just recently finished a wheel throwing course with Violaine.She was really accommodating, welcoming and a great teacher. The studio is a nice space and having a small number of students made it really good for learning all things ceramics related.

Violaine is a great and patient teacher, I’ve enjoyed very much my 4 week wheel class where I have produced some really nice pieces to keep. Highly recommend if you look for something new to learn whether you want to start your career in ceramics or simply make a few cups :-)

A wonderful place to learn and explore pottery. Violaine is wicked talented! She was patient, kind, and energetic, making intro to pottery a really fun experience.Violaine gives individual attention making sure you are happy with your project. This is better than meditation or therapy. It's calming and gratifying to mold clay. I highly recommend this class for anyone who has never touched a pottery wheel.

It was an amazing experience to have a 2.5 hours private class with Violaine!She is super patient and helpful! Saved my piece when I almost screwed it up! ;)I really had the chance to dive into the universe of ceramic creations! Highly recommended!

My mother and I took a private 2-hour wheel class back in September and it was such a wonderful experience as an entry into wheel throwing! Highly highly recommend.

I had a 3-session private course with Violaine and absolutely loved it. She’s very passionate and friendly. I really liked her teaching method, she helps you get it right but she’s not doing it for you so you learn the (not so) hard way. I’d recommend 100% for someone living in Berlin who wants to learn ceramics as a beginner (or even intermediate level) 👌🏼

We had such a great time with Violaine. The pottery class was more like a get together with friends. As we don´t live in Berlin, Violaine glazed the pieces for us and sent them over - thank you for the great experience!

I did a pottery class on the wheel with Violaine and had an amazing experience doing this workshop which took four sessions. Violaine is a very nice person and has lots of patience to explain the hand-movements to built pots and bowls as well as helps you to safe your piece in case you mess it up. Will definitely go for another workshop!

Violaine is a great teacher, the atmosphere is very relaxed, and I just wish i could go everyday.I left the workshop very proud, with the pieces I made.I strongly recommend you try it, you'll love it for sure!
