You book my turning courses either as private/couple lessons where you decide the time and level, or as completed 2-hour sessions for at least 3, max 4 people.
In both cases, I start with a review of the turning technique and show the basic grips for turning, then you turn on each turntable under my supervision throughout the session.
After the session, I sing your creations to dry slowly in a humidity cabinet before burning and glazing them in a beautiful and durable white glaze. The products are ready for pickup approximately 4-6 weeks after the actual turning.

Some practical tips for your turning course: clay is sticky/dusty, which is why it may be good not to put on clothes that are too fragile - apron is available to borrow, however.
Please come with freshly cut nails, as it can be difficult to twist with too long nails.
Have you ever felt the frustration that time never seems to be enough, and that what gets stepped on is always what you really want to do, what makes you feel your best and energizes you?
I have always felt at my best when I got to be creative and create in different forms - painting, drawing, singing, writing, cultivating, decorating, baking, sculpting... Still, these are the things that usually end up last on my list of priorities for a large part of my adult life, and I think there are too many with me.
However, during a “try-on-night” in clay in 2017, something was awakened in me - partly I found clay as a material, but also a realization that I needed to give space to my creative needs in order to feel good. I came home with a sense of satisfaction that I had not felt for a long time, and decided there and then to get my own ceramic kiln. The fact that clay became the medium of creation was thus more or less a coincidence, although it has always appealed to me because it is both versatile and wayward.
One gave way to the other, and after 25 years as a teacher, in autumn 2019 I made the leap and started Made by Pihl, with the vision to make room for that creative power for myself as well as for others.
My goal is to create sustainable and unique utility products and art for the design and quality conscious, and at the same time inspire and give space for more people to create for themselves.
Warmly welcome here!
