Kvæts Masterclass | Wheel Throwing with Sidsel Brorsen
In the company of ceramicist Sidsel Brorsen – founder of Fluuido Laboratory in Milan
Exclusive Kvæts Masterclass with Sidsel Brorsen when she visits Denmark this autumn. An opportunity for you if you want both a mindful experience at the potter’s wheel and to make your own cups and bowls with the Kvæts press mold technique.
Masterclass with Kvæts press molds and the potter’s wheel
In this exclusive masterclass, you step into a calm and focused space where there is room for immersion.
Have you always wanted to sit at a potter’s wheel and feel the clay take shape between your hands? And do you want to make ceramics with a beautiful result? Then this masterclass – where you will leave with an understanding of two classic techniques within ceramic production – is perfect for you.
Sidsel Brorsen is a Dane based in Milan, where she runs Fluuido Laboratory – an international ceramics studio offering wheel throwing lessons and hand building in small private groups. This autumn she is in Denmark, where over two days she visits Kvæts in both Copenhagen and Helsingør.
Working with clay is built on repetition, sensitivity and acceptance of imperfection. Something that leaves room to explore without pressure regarding the end result. We have brought that approach into this focused one-day course, where – to create space for personal sparring and individual guidance – we have two instructors for a maximum of 12 participants (max 8 participants in Copenhagen).
In addition to the potter’s wheel, you also get time with our popular Kvæts press molds. This is a guided technique where you can let your hands work and confidently create bowls and cups – even if you have never worked with clay before.
