Ceramics workshop · 2 h · Saturday mornings · Maximum 4 people · From €43; hand-building €37

You sit at the wheel, wet the clay and learn the first and hardest thing: centring it. Then, with Jandra beside you, you open it and raise it to make a small souvenir piece, a bowl or a cup up to twelve centimetres tall. In two hours you do not learn pottery, but you do understand why it gets you hooked. The piece stays at the workshop to dry and be fired, and you collect it about two weeks later.
Wheel or hands: two workshops of the same length
The pottery workshop costs €43 per person and admits four at most. If you prefer to work without a machine, the hand-building one costs €37: you make a cup, a bowl or a mug by hand with pinch or slab techniques, and decorate it with coloured clays. In both, the clay, tools and firing are included. For those who want more, there is a four-hour intensive on the wheel for €80.
Saturday in Ciudad Lineal
Weekend sessions are on Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 12:00 to 14:00; if there are more than six of you, they also open from 16:00 to 18:00 for hand-building. On weekdays, Tuesday to Friday, one or two people fit depending on availability. The workshop is at Calle de la Virgen del Val, 17, a stone's throw from Barrio de la Concepción station, on line 7. Booking is by WhatsApp or email, and the place is held for 48 hours until you pay by Bizum, transfer or in cash.
