During this workshop, you will learn the basics of wheel throwing in just half an hour from highly experienced potters Floortje Roetemeijer and Tanja van Schagen. You will go home with your own creation.

Floortje Roetemeijer studied ceramics in Gouda. From 2002 to 2011 she worked at Mobach Ceramics, where she specialized in wheel throwing and designing new forms. Since 2012 she has run her own studio, Het Serviesfabriekje, where she handles every part of the making process herself: design, throwing, glazing, and firing. In her designs she is always searching for forms that are beautiful in their simplicity, without ornamentation. She then focuses on functionality, because in the best designs beauty and function come together. She also gives workshops for groups and wheel-throwing classes for children and adults in her studio in Driebergen.

Tanja van Schagen has worked since 2000 at Mobach Ceramics as a thrower and designer of stoneware ceramics. She studied ceramics and painting/printmaking at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. She also completed a ceramics program at SBB Midden Holland in Gouda. In addition to her work at Mobach, she creates her own work. In recent years, she has specialized in raku ceramics, a distinctive Japanese firing technique. She also gives wheel-throwing classes in her own studio and at Atelier Werfklei in Utrecht.
