In Mareil-Marly, Capestan les Ateliers offers ceramics workshops for people who want to discover or deepen their work with clay. The activity introduces hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques in a supported workshop setting.
What do you do during a workshop?
Depending on the chosen format, the session lets you work clay by hand or on the wheel, learn to centre it and gradually shape a piece.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. The workshops are accessible to people with no previous experience, with guidance to understand the essential movements and progress at their own pace.
Good to know before visiting
The duration, number of participants and firing arrangements depend on the booked workshop. Some pieces need to dry and then be fired before collection.
A little something extra
The location in Mareil-Marly, close to western Paris, offers a chance to discover ceramics in a real workshop without having to travel into central Paris.
