In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of wheel throwing in a one-on-one, 30-minutes session with highly experienced potters Floortje Roetemeijer and Tanja van Schagen.

You’ll go home with your own handmade creation.

Floortje Roetemeijer studied ceramics in Gouda. From 2002 to 2011, she worked at Mobach Ceramics, where she specialized in throwing and designing new forms. Since 2012, she has been running her own studio, Het Serviesfabriekje, where she handles every step of the process herself: from design and throwing to glazing and firing. Her designs focus on simple, elegant forms without unnecessary embellishments, always aiming to balance beauty and functionality. She also teaches group workshops and throwing classes for both children and adults in her studio in Driebergen.

Tanja van Schagen has been working at Mobach Ceramics since 2000 as a potter and designer of stoneware. She studied ceramics and painting/printmaking at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, as well as ceramic training at SBB Midden Holland in Gouda. In addition to her work at Mobach, she creates her own work and has recently specialized in raku ceramics, a unique Japanese firing technique. Tanja also teaches wheel throwing in her own studio and at Atelier Werfklei in Utrecht.
