Cone 7 Ceramic Workshop

Veibeskrivelse Nettsted Kontakt museet

Cone 7 Ceramic Workshop Cone 7 is a ceramic center based in Bergen, Norway. Cone 7 is a ceramic center based in Bergen, Norway and is co-founded by Lorie Ballage and Eléonore Griveau.

Open to artists, designers, and anyone willing to experiment with clay, our mission is to develop a long term ceramic community and to promote its application in art, design and craft. Our ceramic workshop aims to become an open cultural platform where any interested parties may experiment with clay and specific tools that are involved in a ceramic based practice. The workshop facilitates research methods, courses and other arrangements. As an open ceramic workshop where classes are held, artists can also rent a space or a technician to complete their specific projects. OUR FACTILITIES

GENERAL WORKSHOP AND KILNS
​We currently own a 300L large electric kiln, various heavy duty machinery (such as an extruder and a slab roller) and we will be soon owning a 60L top loader electric kiln. The glaze laboratory is in the process of being implemented. GLAZING ROOM
One of the biggest processes that is often reduced and limited to ceramists is making glazing from scratch. We often limit ourselves to expensive “ready made glaze” with little possibilities as a proper glaze laboratory requires strict health and safety regulations. As glazing researchers, one of the assets in our workshop is the possibility to teach everything about the glazing process and offer the access to use the laboratory and its glaze archive. Our glaze library is a project built by Lorie Ballage, which consists of an archive of research about the possibilities of glazes. This growing project aims to expand itself throughout Cone 7 by working closely with guest researchers and curious learners eager to contribute to a library in constant development. FABLAB
Another unique project in Bergen would be our ceramic fablab. New technologies involved with ceramic are currently not existent in Bergen. Our digital workshop conducted by Eleonore Griveau aims to be open to anyone who wants to create a 3D object. From 3D drawing, scanning, editing and printing, we can facilitate advice and assist while offering plenty of space to work and experiment with our machines.

NEW! 6-Week Advanced Pottery Wheel Course – Level 3 🫟☀️

Starting August 25th at Cone 7, with artist and ceramicist Birgit Brühl Birgit Brühl

Over six weeks, you’ll work on throwing bigger, altering forms and building more complex pieces on the wheel.

You’ll explore working with larger amounts of clay to create big vases and ambitious vessels, learn different ways of altering and reshaping wheel-thrown forms, and take on the challenge of making a teapot from multiple individually thrown components.

Each new technique will be demonstrated step by step by Birgit, with plenty of time to practice, experiment and get individual guidance along the way.

The course is for experienced throwers who are already comfortable centering clay and throwing basic forms independently, and want to take their practice further. 🫶

📅 Starts August 25th – 6 weeks
📍 Cone 7 Ceramic Workshop, Laksevåg

Our 5-week Hand Building Class is back! 🤍

One of our favourite things is seeing the same people come back every Wednesday. Over five weeks, you’ll get to know the clay, try new techniques to build with your hands , watch your ideas evolve, and celebrate everyone’s little wins together. Every group ends up feeling a little different, and that’s what makes these courses so special.

From mugs to sculptural pieces, larger vases, tiles or completely unexpected ideas—there’s no right or wrong project to make. Whether you’re touching clay for the first time or already have experience, we meet you where you are. With small groups and plenty of individual guidance, everyone gets the time and support they need to develop their own ideas.

We’ll guide you through a range of hand-building and decorating techniques before finishing your favourite pieces during our final glazing session.

🗓️ Starts Wednesday, August 19
✨ 5 weekly classes
🤍 Catch-up session available if you miss one (see conditions with staff).

Cone 7 is coming to town and taking over Bodega for one evening, clay, drinks and good vibes right in the heart of the city 😍

Join Vilde and Eléonore for a 3h pottery session where you’ll learn three handbuilding techniques (pinch, coil, slab) and create whatever you feel like, cups, bowls, candle holders or small sculptures. No rules, just making.

You’ll decorate your pieces with ceramic colors, paint, patterns, stamps or writing, and create up to 3 pieces during the session.

Drinks available at the bar (not included), and you’re welcome to stay a bit after the workshop if you feel like it.

We take care of drying, firing and glazing, finished with a transparent glossy, food safe glaze. Your pieces will be ready for pickup 3 to 4 weeks later at our studio in Laksevåg, about 10 minutes by bus from the city center.

Week 1 & 2 of our 5-week Advanced Handbuilding course !

These first sessions are all about exploring textures and surfaces. We start by making test tiles, small objects, and texture samples that will later become the basis for mold making in week 3.

Some students brought beautiful natural materials — stones, shells, seaweed — to press into the clay and capture delicate impressions. These textures will soon be transformed into plaster molds so they can be repeated, cast, and developed into new forms.

I love this stage of the process. It’s experimental and playful. 😍 Can’t wait to see what these textures will become in the coming weeks ✨
