Cours de céramique Paris 20 quartier de Ménilmontant avec Lucie Eleme céramiste

Take a class

Stepping into the studio means stepping out of time — a suspended moment where your hands root into the clay and your mind can let go.
Here, in this calm, garden-facing space, I’ll gently guide you in discovering the world of ceramics.

Between patience and wonder, you’ll learn to connect with the material, to feel its rhythm, and to be carried by the gesture.

Whether it’s your first encounter with clay or a desire to go deeper, each session is an invitation to slow down, explore, and create — with no pressure, just for the joy of it.

It’s a real gift to discover pottery with Lucie! She takes her time and puts you at ease. The way she speaks about and touches the clay is a beautiful reminder that it’s a living material, worthy of respect. Working on the potter’s wheel is deeply soothing — the clay feels so pleasant under your hands. Lucie adapted to my pace, and I was able to create two pieces while really understanding how a simple “lump of clay” transforms into a lovely coffee cup.Bonus: the studio has big bay windows that open onto a little green space, and the community café that hosts it is full of life!In short: pure joy!
