These guides cover the hand-building process only, from shaping your piece to getting it ready for the kiln. Glazing and firing aren't included, but you'll find free quick reference guides for both these topics under Free Guides.
Hi, I'm Myrta, the potter behind Keramikatelier im Rank. I've been working with clay for years, both in my own studio in Switzerland and teaching hands-on pottery courses to people of all skill levels.
These guides come straight from my studio practice. Every technique, every tip, and every photo is based on projects I've made and taught myself, so you're getting methods that actually work, not just theory.
I created these step-by-step guides so anyone, anywhere, can follow along at their own pace and get the same clear guidance my in-person students do.
Whether you're new to clay or looking to try a new shape or technique, I hope these guides help you enjoy the process as much as I do.
Happy potting!
Myrta
