About the lecturer

The instructor is Dorte Hølmkjær Kaad, a 54-year-old woman with both a handicraft teacher and pedagogical education. For the past five years, she has worked with ceramics, specialising in pottery wheel work and glazing. She has also been a volunteer at the ceramics workshop Lerkælderen in Nygadehuset for over five years. She has taught in several creative subjects and is driven by a genuine desire to share her knowledge and enthusiasm with others.

Background

The course is a small exclusive course with only four participants in the group, so there will be maximum benefit from the two evenings the course takes place. Firings and glazing are included in the course price. No long nails. The workshop has aprons that can be used, but you are welcome to bring your own. This course does not grant access to use the open workshop after the course ends. The course runs from approx. 18:00-21:00. Clay is not included in the price. The prices for our clay are: Stoneware clay: 75 kr. per kg, Porcelain clay: 95 kr. per kg.
