Beginner masterclass (weeks 1-4)

This is where you learn the fundamental techniques of paper porcelain.
You'll work small and experimentally, mastering each method before moving to larger work.

You'll work hands-on with both liquid and plastic paper porcelain, learning exactly when and why to choose each type for your creative vision.

Through guided experimentation, you'll create organic forms and delicate wall panels by dipping combustible materials in liquid paper porcelain, discovering how natural objects transform into permanent ceramic pieces.

You'll build sculptural forms using slip-trailing and coiling techniques, gaining confidence with both methods through direct practice and individual guidance.

My signature decorating techniques, "dry to dry" and "wet to dry," will give you precise control over surface textures and finishes, opening new creative possibilities for any paper porcelain project.

By mid-week, you'll fire the pieces you created in the first three days, so you can see your finished work and understand how paper porcelain transforms in the kiln before the week ends.

This class welcomes artists new to paper porcelain. A basic understanding of working with clay helps you get the most from the week.

Advanced masterclass (weeks 5-6, September only)

Open only to those who've completed my beginner masterclass in France or my full bundle of online masterclasses. This week focuses on expanding your scale and confidence while refining your technical control.

You'll apply all the fundamental techniques to create larger, more ambitious work, pushing beyond the experimental scale of the beginner week.

I'll teach you two advanced building methods: assembling sculptures from small dried components and creating large-scale forms with dipped combustible materials. Both techniques work with liquid and plastic paper porcelain, giving you the structural knowledge to build complex pieces that hold their form through drying and firing.

This week is about translating what you've mastered into the work you've been envisioning, with individual guidance on solving the technical challenges that come with working larger.

• Dutch, English & French spoken
  (Classes will be taught in English when there are students of different nationalities in the class.)

• All materials are provided and there are no extra charges for materials or firings.
  All the pieces you've crafted in the first three days will be promptly fired and available for you to take home.
  The pieces you've created during this week can be sent to your address, for a fee (€30 within Europe & UK and €65 in other countries).
