ClayMates workshop

Free workshop - ceramic workshop

The workshop is available 7 days a week for subscribers

At any time of the day, alone, zen with your clay, ClayMates is THE place where your dreams of clay become reality.
You can use the workshop in open access but also take private and group classes.
At ClayMates, there is everything you need and want to create with clay. We have potter towers, a modelling space, a glazing space and a varied choice of sandstone.

ClayMates is much more than a ceramic workshop, it is a community, a place of relaxation, of disconnection with the stressful world from the outside and of reconnection with oneself and the earth. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, ClayMates is accessible to everyone from the age of 15.

Joining the ClayMates community is a unique experience in an exceptional setting.
