Frequently Asked Questions

  • The workshop formats are a bit longer than most, so you actually have time to get your hands dirty without feeling rushed, plus there is time build in for demos and cleanup. The groups are kept small (5–6 people), which means more personal guidance. The studio also offer a unique range of custom-made, colorful glazes you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Wear clothes and shoes suitable for messy work. Clay will wash off easily but it’s best not to take any chances. It’s also recommended to come with shorter nail if possible.

  • The studio is located at Warthestr. 68 in Neukölln — just look for the green storefront door. :)

    The nearest train stations are Leinestr. (U8) and Hermannstr. (U8/S-Bahn.)

  • I run a small, one-person studio, and spots in each course are very limited to maintain an intimate setting. Because of this, the following cancellation policy applies:

    Cancellation Policy – Multi-Week Courses:

    • 30+ days before the first session: Full refund minus processing fees, or 100% studio credit valid for 12 months.

    • 14–29 days before the first session: 50% refund, or 100% studio credit valid for 12 months.

    • 13 days or less before the first session: Unfortunately, I cannot offer a refund.

    Cancellation Policy – One-Day Workshops

    • Cancellations made 14 days or more before the workshop date will receive a full refund minus payment processing fees, or alternatively a 100% studio credit valid for 12 months.

    • Cancellations made 8–13 days before the workshop date will receive a 50% refund or a 100% studio credit valid for 12 months.

    • Cancellations made 7 days or fewer before the workshop date are non-refundable.

    Missed sessions are generally difficult to reschedule due to the course structure. That said, I understand that life happens. If you experience serious illness, injury, or another major unforeseen event, please reach out as soon as possible. I’ll do my best to work something out when possible, though I can’t guarantee alternative arrangements or compensation.

    You’re also welcome to transfer your spot to someone else if you give me prior notice.

  • Taster Sessions:

    Each participant can choose two pieces to leave at the studio, where they will be glazed and fired.

    Multi-week courses:

    There is no set limit to how many pieces you can create during the course.

  • Expect 2–4 weeks depending on the type of workshop you are participating in. Pottery it not a fast process! :’)
