About this tour
A 2-hour hands-on ceramic workshop run by Wendy Gingell, a professionally exhibited ceramicist and accredited team-building facilitator. You'll work with clay and tools at Taller Gingell, a licensed artisan academy in Spain, creating pieces that get fired in the studio kiln. Suits groups, corporate teams, or individuals wanting a structured introduction to hand-building ceramics with professional guidance and finished work to take home.

What to expect
You'll arrive at Taller Gingell and be given an apron and introduction to the space. Wendy will demonstrate hand-building techniques and introduce you to the clay and modelling tools. Over the next hour and a half, you'll work at your own pace creating ceramic pieces — tiles, vessels or sculptural forms — with guidance and feedback. Your finished work goes into the kiln on-site. At the end of the session, you'll collect your fired pieces (or arrange to collect them after firing completes if timing requires).
The experience is structured for both individuals and groups. If you're attending as a team or corporate group, the session incorporates team-building elements facilitated by Wendy's professional training. The studio environment is calm and focused, with all surfaces and equipment adapted for accessibility.
