Regular Classes

Blanc Ceramic's long-term courses are designed for those who wish to delve deeper into the world of ceramic art. Our courses are unique because we do not separate hand-building and wheel-throwing classes. Instead, all students will learn fundamental skills such as kneading clay, hand-building, wheel-throwing, trimming, and glazing. While mastering these techniques, we also encourage our students to explore their creative potential by crafting ceramic pieces that reflect their unique style.
