New ways to work with clay
Ceramics Centre Tiendschuur Tegelen is both a museum and a studio! A unique combination in a beautiful location. The museum displays a special collection of historical ceramics and leading exhibitions of contemporary ceramic art. Courses and workshops are organised in the studio. Here, after the museum visit, you can roll up your sleeves and get into the clay! Thus, the studio regularly hosts workshops by renowned artists who share with you their self-developed techniques and skills in working with clay. A unique opportunity to be taught by them in person!
Be inspired by our guest teachers and discover completely new ways of working with clay. Hope to see you in our studio!
In the online shop, you can find all the information about the workshops and register for them. In case a workshop is already fully booked, with an e-mail to info@tiendschuur.net you can be put on the waiting list in case a participant drops out.
The workshops are governed by the ‘General terms and conditions Ceramic Atelier 2025’.
