Holiday Activities, Skövde
By Clay
Available from: February - March
Next available date: 10 Feb 2026
Spend 90 minutes exploring clay at the wheel or worktable with expert guidance. Create 1–2 bowls or sculpt by hand, and take home a finished, glazed ceramic piece after the session.
Welcome to a hands-on pottery session tailored for children in our charming studio in Skövde. This creative workshop introduces kids to the world of ceramics in a relaxed and engaging environment.
During the activity, children will try their hand at throwing a bowl on a real pottery wheel. They’ll also sculpt their own mug from clay, complete with a handle, and add unique decorations or even stamp their name into their piece.
We provide a variety of fun and simple ideas to help inspire young creators. The session is guided by an instructor, and no prior experience is needed. Parents are welcome to stay and observe, but it’s just as fine to leave the children during the course.
Once the pottery is completed, each piece is dried and fired in our kiln. After about 3–4 weeks, items can be picked up locally or shipped for an additional fee.

Nestled in the lush city park of charming Hjo, you’ll find Clay Pottery Studio – a vibrant place filled with creativity, community, and inspiration. Since the summer of 2021, our studio has been located in a beautiful old warehouse, offering courses, a workshop, a shop, and a café all under one roof.
Here, you’ll be greeted by the aroma of coffee, the hum of the pottery wheel, and a joyful mix of people creating, laughing, and exploring the possibilities of clay. We welcome groups and host workshops year-round – there’s always something fun happening at Clay!
In our shop, you’ll find my own handcrafted ceramics alongside selected art and handmade pieces from other local creators. Feel free to relax in our cozy self-serve café bar, where you can enjoy a fika in an inspiring setting.
During the summer months, we’re open daily. The rest of the year, our opening hours vary – check our website or social media for current information.
