Floortje Roetemeijer and Tanja van Schagen will teach the workshop ‘Learn to turn on a potter’s wheel’. Both are very experienced turners.  

In this workshop, participants will learn the principles of turning on a potter’s wheel, one-on-one, in half an hour.  

Floortje Roetemeijer studied ceramics in Gouda. From 2002 to 2011, she worked at Mobach-Keramiek, where she specialised in turning and designing new forms. Since 2012, she has had her own studio, Het Serviesfabriekje, where she carries out every part of the making process herself: design, turning, glazing, and firing. In design, she is always looking for shapes that are beautiful in their simplicity, without frills. Then she looks at functionality because beauty and functionality come together in the best designs. She also teaches pottery lessons to children and adults in her studio in Driebergen.  

Tanja van Schagen has worked at Mobach-Keramiek since 2000 as a turner and designer of stoneware ceramics. She studied ceramics and painting/graphics at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. She also took the ceramics course at the SBB Midden Holland in Gouda. In addition to her work at Mobach, she creates her own work. In recent years, Tanja has specialised in raku ceramics, a Japanese firing technique. She also teaches turning lessons in her studio and at Werfklei studio in Utrecht.
