throwing and hand building Ceramic And Pottery workshop
About The Ceramic and Pottery Workshop
“Lava, mountains and rivers all is an inspiration into my art”
Join me for a full day of ceramic and pottery workshop which promises to be exciting for both beginners and the more experienced artist. You will have the opportunity to explore this versatile medium and develop new ideas under my guidance.
These fun and informative workshops are designed for those who are curious about clay or want to further their skills. The workshops are focused on hand-building, throwing, or a combination of both techniques.
The workshop is ideal for beginners and experienced participants as well. For beginners, it is a great introduction to ceramic fundamentals. This is the start of your ceramic journey! It introduces the basic hand-building and wheel throwing techniques through practical demonstration and guidance. By the end of the class you will be able to use these two techniques at a basic level.
For more experienced participants, you will be guided depending on your interests and level. We will have more time for extended demonstrations of both techniques and experiment to further develop your skills.
Working and living both in Iceland and Scotland for many years has influenced me very much. The beautiful nature, lava, mountains and rivers all is an inspiration into my art, important enough for me to want to share with others and clay is my medium to do this.
Enjoy a relaxing, creative time playing on the potter's wheel. Be prepared to experiment!

Reviews
"One month ago, my boyfriend and I went to Hafdis atelier to do some clay work. Okay, it was my idea but just as a quick all-clear signal to all the wives and girlfriends out there: my boyfriend liked it. The atmosphere at the workshop is magical; you sit in an old white building surrounded by all these beautiful sculptures, candle sticks and all different kinds of chicken. Yes, chicken.
Hafdis showed us the secrets of pottery, how to make something nice out of a plain piece of clay. And surprisingly even my boyfriend created something that I would use to decorate our apartment. It was a nice day. Hafdis is a great teacher with a lot of experience in art and many stories to tell. You feel very welcome and you can do whatever you want.
She provides the opportunity to create your own piece of interior, to fulfill yourself and in the meantime, you lose your aggressions while pugging the clay. All in all, I must say that when you’re in Iceland you should book a day with Hafdis, you will love it as we did and we will definitely come back."
"Wonderful workshop"
"Really enjoyed learning new techniques and meeting the artists. Hafdis was very welcoming and even shared delicious tradition pastries and coffee during a break. Her work is stunning. Would highly recommend this experience.
I would definitely recommend it to family and friends."
