Pottery and ceramics — Senegal

Clay forgives a lot: while it is damp, you start again. Hand building or throwing, the first sessions mainly teach you to centre, to feel the thickness and to accept that the piece has a say. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Senegal are notified of your request.

What the service covers

  • hand building and coiling;
  • introduction to the wheel;
  • decoration, slips and textures;
  • glazing and preparing for firing;
  • simple projects: bowl, cup, plate.

Depending on the agreement, the session can include preparing the clay, guided learning, making a piece, drying, glazing and arranging the firing if planned.

Key points

Clay, glazes and firing

Dry clay dust is never swept: it is cleaned with a damp sponge, because fine dust gets breathed in. Glazes and pigments can contain harmful compounds: gloves, ventilation, no contact with the mouth, and a glazed piece is only food-safe if the glaze and the firing allow it. Firing is done in a proper kiln, never a kitchen oven, in a ventilated space out of children's reach.

Workshops, minors and materials

For a learner under 18, the workshop takes place in a shared room or with the door open, at an agreed time, with parents informed about the content. Materials are chosen to suit the age: cutting tools, strong glues, fixatives and sprays are used under adult supervision, in a ventilated room and on a protected surface. Products are resealed after use and stored out of children's reach.

What affects the price

  • length of the session;
  • level and goal;
  • materials provided;
  • number of participants;
  • travel to your home.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.
