Workshops, courses, & Events

When: every Friday 18:00 – 21:00 | Age: 18+

Unwind from the work week with clay, music, and great company! Join us every Friday evening to kick off your weekend with a relaxed, hands-on creative session.

Pack your favorite wine, bring some snacks, and grab your friends (or come solo and make new ones!). We’ll supply the clay, glazes, tools, and music—no previous experience required. Our friendly team will be on hand to walk you through the basics, but there’s no pressure to create a masterpiece. It’s not a quiet meditation class; it’s a lively space to experiment, get your hands dirty, and enjoy good vibes.

Come as you are, bring your playful energy, and let’s make something fun!

Meet your instructors: 

Viola – Instructor at Lerværk

Viola is a creative soul with her hands deep in clay and a heart full of ideas. She has several years of experience with ceramics and loves exploring how form, texture, and function can come together in new ways.

As an instructor, Viola is curious, present, and inspiring. She meets both children and adults at eye level and creates a safe space where everyone can be creative, regardless of skill level.

She is particularly passionate about experimenting with techniques and finding new paths in ceramic expression, often finding inspiration in her students and the atmosphere of the workshop. Beyond her ceramics background, she has extensive experience in teaching and participatory learning, and is passionate about creating communities built around craftsmanship and the joy of creating.

Josephine – Instructor at Lerværk

On a daily basis, I study political science at Aalborg University, but when I don't have my nose in the books, I work at Lervaerket and spend a lot of time on ceramics. I am especially fond of hand-building because I love the organic and personal expression it creates.

However, I am also always ready to help if you want to try your hand at wheel-throwing—so whether you are mostly into hand-building, the potter's wheel, or don't even know yet what you want to make, I'll be happy to guide you along the way.

To me, ceramics isn't about making something perfect, but about experimenting, being creative, and creating something that is completely your own. I look forward to some cozy hours filled with plenty of creativity, laughter, and of course, a bit of clay all over the place!

Get into the holiday spirit by making unique Christmas gifts. Handmade ceramics always make wonderful presents. A gift made by your own hands or your child's hands is extra special. You do not need to create something perfect. The main goal is to spend time together and make happy memories.

Remark: Do you want your pieces finished in time for Christmas? We recommend booking a table before December 5. This ensures your pottery has time to dry. It also allows time for the two firings required to make it durable, waterproof, and safe for food.

Do not worry if you cannot come before December 5th. Making clay creations while sipping warm drinks is a cozy way to spend time with loved ones.

Are you affected by stress and on sick leave? And would you like to meet others and make ceramics?

Lervaerk, in collaboration with psychologist Louise Becker, will create a ceramics group for people affected by stress who are on sick leave. 

The course initially spans 4 Mondays, each lasting 2 hours from 10:00 to 12:00. 

The dates are November 2, November 9, November 16, and November 23, and you can attend the days that work for you. The course will take place at Lervaerk's clay studio in Aalborg.

It does not matter whether you are an experienced ceramicist or if you have never made anything out of clay. Everyone will be helped and guided in ways to work with the clay.

Conversations in the group will be facilitated in a way that provides space and room to share stories and experiences about living with stress and being on sick leave, but at your own pace.

The facilitation of the conversations will be characterized by:

• Space for calm and immersion.

• You control your own pace.

• No performance pressure.

• Sharing details about yourself is completely voluntary.

• You may experience recognition from others' stories.

The price is DKK 500 per session
