If you are looking for a form of free and artistic expression, participating in our ceramic modeling course in Santiago is the definitive experience to connect with your creativity. At the Beatriz Seijo Artist Studio, we move away from the rush to teach you how to build unique objects using only your hands and simple tools. Here, every pinch and every texture tells a story: yours.
Under the guidance of Carme Ayala and Mario López, you will learn the ancient construction techniques that allow you to give life to any shape you imagine, from organic tableware to decorative sculptures.
In our manual pottery workshop, we will explore the three main ways to master clay without rushing, integrating each step so that you achieve pieces with professional finishes:
Pinching and coiling technique: The basis for creating pieces with character and resistance.
Slab construction: Ideal for geometric shapes, trays or contemporary vases.
Texturing and finishing: You will learn to use stamps and fabrics to give personality to your creations.
Unlike the lathe, manual modeling allows a different pause and infinite freedom of shapes. In our studio, we take care of every detail so that your learning is unforgettable:
Direct attention: The teaching staff will accompany you every step of the way, helping you to technically resolve your ideas.
No shape limits: Here we do not depend on the symmetry of the lathe; If you can imagine it, you can model it.
High quality materials: We work with stoneware and selected bodies for a long-lasting result.
Our studio is the ideal place for those looking to learn ceramics in Santiago in a peaceful environment. Places are very limited to maintain the calm that manual work requires. Reserve your place now in our Art Studio and take home pieces made entirely by you in this ceramic modeling course in Santiago. We are waiting for you!

Of course! The Workshop has a program designed specifically for beginners. Learning from the basics will allow you to progress safely and advance much faster. The only thing you need to bring is a desire to learn; The technique will allow you to obtain surprising results almost from the first day.
Remember: The only way to fail at ceramics is to not decide to “get to work.”
Yes. The work system in the studio is completely personalized. This allows us to welcome you at any time during the course, since you set your own starting and learning pace.
The baking process itself usually takes between 8 and 10 hours. It is a fundamental step for your creations to go from being decorative objects to resistant and functional pieces. But cooling the oven is so important, it usually takes about 24 hours.
The clay pieces, before going through the kiln, are fragile and purely decorative. By baking them at high temperatures (up to 1300 ºC) for several hours, the material transforms and becomes utilitarian. It is the magical process that allows us, for example, to drink from our own modeled and enameled cups.
Yes, as long as the class is cancelled in advance. We have a system for managing absences and make-ups so you don’t lose your learning rythm due to unforeseen circumstances. Any class cancelled on time will be saved so you can make it up another day within the available schedule for each activity.
We work with a custom method. Each student develops their project at their own pace. The teachers constantly reinforce and correct you, ensuring that you correctly apply the technical procedures according to your level.
When is payment made? Fees are paid during the first 5 days of each month. We have a free direct debit service for your convenience.
What are the facilities like? You will enjoy a brand new, spacious and accessible studio. We have underfloor heating for your maximum comfort and a constant ventilation system. In addition, there is free parking nearby.
