5-Day Porcelain Wheel Workshop with Hüseyin Artik. 22 - 26 June
5-Day Porcelain Wheel Workshop with Hüseyin Artik
Intermediate level
Exploring porcelain through sculptural form, proportion, and quiet precision.
This five-day workshop offers potters the opportunity to experience the unique beauty and sensitivity of porcelain through a focused, form-led approach. Working on the wheel, participants will explore proportion, balance, and visual weight, developing sculptural forms that respond to porcelain’s translucency, strength, and precision.
The workshop centres on making sculptural, non-functional work, allowing space for experimentation, refinement, and repetition. While porcelain may be new to some participants, the course is designed for those already confident working with stoneware, supporting a thoughtful transition into this demanding and rewarding material.
About the instructor
Hüseyin Artik is a ceramic artist and potter based in Bursa, Turkey, with an international reputation for his refined bottle forms and sculptural porcelain work. His practice is grounded in a minimalist aesthetic, characterised by monochromatic surfaces, crisp lines, and carefully measured proportions. Working exclusively with porcelain, Artik pushes the material to its limits, producing intricate large-scale bottles alongside elegantly curvaceous bowls and sculptural forms.
Workshop Structure
Day 1 – Introduction to Porcelain & Sculptural Form
An introduction to porcelain as a material and its behaviour on the wheel. The day focuses on establishing control and confidence through simple sculptural forms as a way into understanding the material.
Day 2 – Developing Form, Scale & Visual Weight
Building on the first day’s work, participants explore scale, volume, and proportion, with attention to visual weight, balance, and sculptural intention.
Day 3 – Trimming & Form Development
The morning is dedicated to trimming work made earlier in the week, focusing on refinement, balance, and finish. In the afternoon, attention shifts back to the wheel, developing and opening up forms in response to the work already made.
Day 4 – Open Forms, Altering & Firing
Participants continue exploring more open and altered forms in porcelain. In the afternoon, work is prepared and loaded for a single high firing, marking the final making stage for fired pieces.
Day 5 – Practice, Consolidation & Personal Direction
The final day offers time for practice, repetition, and consolidation of techniques explored throughout the week. Participants are encouraged to revisit forms, refine ideas, and develop personal directions, supported by discussion and individual feedback.
