Are your courses and workshops also suitable for children? Do you also organise children’s parties?
Our courses and workshops are aimed at adults. If you would like to bring your child, we recommend booking a private workshop. This allows us to focus entirely on you and adapt to your child. We do not organise children’s parties.
I am pregnant. Is it safe to take a pottery workshop or course at Máris Klei Kunst?
You can book a pottery class even if you are pregnant. In your last trimester, it may become a little more physically demanding for your lower back, or your belly may get in the way a little. But we will take that into account. Please indicate that you are pregnant when booking. We do not recommend glazing ceramics if you are pregnant.
Can I bring my dog to the pottery workshop or course at Máris Klei Kunst?
We do not recommend bringing a dog to our ceramics workshops.
Can I take photos or videos during the one-day pottery workshop at Máris Klei Kunst?
Not really. It’s so wonderful that you can completely disconnect from your phone and all distractions while pottery making. In consultation with you, we always take nice photos and videos that we can send you after the class.
I would like to book a private pottery workshop in Amsterdam. Is that possible?
Certainly! The one-day workshops cost 75 euros per person. If you would like to book a private lesson, there is an additional charge of 100 euros. We will make it a very special afternoon for you.
Two hours of pottery is too long for me. Is it possible to make it shorter?
Certainly! If you let us know in advance, we will make an appropriate arrangement for you.
I would like to give a pottery workshop in Amsterdam as a gift. Do you offer gift vouchers?
Certainly! Please send us an email with all the details and we will send you a gift voucher.
I would like to work independently on the potter’s wheel. Is that possible?
Certainly! You can take out a studio subscription or purchase a multi-session ticket. Please see the course page or email us for more information.
I don’t have an apron. Can I borrow one from you for the one-day ceramics workshop?
That’s no problem, we always have one spare apron in the studio in case someone forgets theirs. Just let us know in advance so we can set it aside for you.
What if my clothes get dirty from the clay? Can I wash the clay out of my clothes?
The clay will come out of your clothes in the washing machine, so you don’t have to worry about that. Feel free to make a mess!
I want to learn pottery in a small group. Are the workshops and courses at Máris Klei Kunst suitable for this?
Definitely! We are one of the few places in Amsterdam where you can learn pottery in small groups of up to four people. Personal attention is central to our approach. We also like to create a relaxed and warm atmosphere so that everyone feels at ease.
I have already taken a pottery course elsewhere. Can I still register for a pottery course at Máris Klei Kunst?
Certainly! Because we use small groups of up to 4 people for our pottery courses, we can give a lot of personal attention. This means it is no problem if there are different levels in the groups. In fact, it’s great fun!
I am unable to attend on the specified days and times, but I would very much like to take a pottery course at Máris Klei Kunst. Are there any other options?
Unfortunately, we do not offer any classes other than those listed on the course page. If you have put together a group of at least four friends for the five-week course, you can email us to see if we can book an extra course for you at another time.
The pottery course I would like to take is full. Can I be put on a waiting list?
Certainly! Send us an email and we will put you on the waiting list in case someone drops out. Or we will look at other options for a follow-up course.
