While the clay transforms into a ceramic art piece in the process of sculpting, drying, firing and glazing, the creator also goes through a change in her own mindset. The versatility of clay invites you to search your own path while respecting the surprises on a way – sometimes delightful ones, sometimes incidents you need to adapt to.

The teacher is Sanna Pöyhönen who first put her hands in clay as a teenager and after 30 years is still in love with the ceramics as an art medium.

Atelier Ainoa is a new ceramics studio in Zaandam, the Netherlands. After several months of renovation an old Huyndai showroom in Penningweg 91 has turned into a spacious, bright art factory that accommodates the ceramic art and sculpting studio, and screenprinting masters of Krijger Vormgave.

Atelier Ainoa is specialised in guiding students to find their creativity and unique ways to express themselves. Learn the basic clay hand building techniques while working on your own ceramics project under the guidance of an experienced teacher.
