Ceramics Workshop
The ceramics workshop is still in the early stages of development and is therefore not yet available for general use. Experimental projects using the ceramic 3D printer may be possible by arrangement.
Who is the contact person for the ceramics workshop?

Judith Kamp
"Ich bin Judith - Designerin und für den Aufbau der Keramik- und Glaswerkstatt verantwortlich. Dort begleite ich dich künftig bei Projekten rund um Tonbearbeitung und Glasfusing. Ebenfalls findest du mich in der Holzwerkstatt, wo ich Anna-Lena vertrete.
Mein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Gestaltung und Fertigung von Möbeln und Produkten mit klarer, reduzierter Formsprache. Dabei setze ich häufig auf modulare Konzepte und arbeite bevorzugt mit Materialien wie Holz, Aluminium und Glas. Mein Wissen und meine Erfahrung rund um Materialwahl, Technik und Gestaltung teile ich gerne mit dir und unterstütze dich bei der Umsetzung deiner Ideen."

Go to the 'Ceramics Workshop' working folder with additional documentation
In this folder, you will find additional documentation covering all areas of the ceramics workshop, including operating manuals, safety instructions, templates and samples, tutorials, and other resources designed to make your work easier.
As always, we believe that collaboration makes us stronger — we welcome every contribution to our shared pool of knowledge and experience!
Clay Processing
A wide range of hand tools for hand-built ceramics is available for working with clay, along with equipment for slip casting, including mold-making tools. On the pottery wheel, you can shape rotating clay into vessels using your hands, while our 3D clay printer opens up new possibilities for digital ceramics projects. You can also apply glazes to your work here.
- 4 Lindemann ETS300-6 electric pottery wheels1
- Rohde SK66 spray booth
- Kittec TP clay extruder
- Kittec RS tabletop slab roller
Glassworking
Glassworking is also possible in our workshop: you can grind, drill, cut, or melt glass in small formats using our glass fusing kiln. In addition, we occasionally offer glass fusing workshops where you can learn the technique together with others under guided instruction.
- Proxxon THB bench drill
- Taurus III glass saw
- Kristall 2000 S glass grinder with pump
- ALL-U-Need flat lap grinder
We introduce the equipment and show you the techniques that can be carried out with it. At present, the responsibility for learning and independently applying these processes lies with you. At the same time, we are working on expanding our workshop program so that you can learn these techniques step by step with guided instruction.
In the near future, you will also be able to use our firing service. This will allow you to have your ceramics fired on-site, including both bisque and glaze firings. We fire up to 1250 °C and charge by the kilogram.
Information and forms related to this service will be available here on this page in the future.
Kilns
- Nabertherm LH 120/14: Chamber kiln with a 120-liter capacity, intended exclusively for ceramic work up to 1250 °C
- Top-loading kiln with a 60-liter capacity: Intended exclusively for ceramic work up to 1250 °C
- Kittec Top Loader CBF 65: Glass fusing kiln with a 63-liter capacity for glass projects up to 1000 °C
How to Use the Ceramics Workshop
After completing the general safety training, you can attend the workshop-specific training for the ceramics workshop. There, you will learn everything important about safe working practices as well as the handling of materials and dust.
Afterwards, you will be able to use the workshop independently with the hand tools. Separate training is required for machines; these are divided into ceramic and glass equipment and are selected according to your project needs. Use of the 3D clay printer requires a comprehensive dedicated training session.
Simply sign up for training sessions on-site or by email.

In the future and by arrangement, a loan option may be available so that you can practice at home whenever you like. ↩
