Open Atelier
Take some time to work with clay, explore new ideas, and create freely at your own pace.
-
The Open Atelier is our open ceramics studio. You book your slot online and can then spend 3 hours working on your own projects at your leisure. Whether you’re working on the potter’s wheel, building pieces by hand, or glazing, you decide what you want to work on and how you want to spend your time.
This is also a wonderful time to simply practice, try something new, or experiment without any pressure, even if you don’t end up keeping anything. During your slot, our tools, clay, and glazes are at your disposal. The Open Atelier takes place during our opening hours, and the Roka Studio team is on site to answer any questions or assist you as needed.
-
You have 3 hours per session.
Our recommendation: If you'd like to make something on the potter's wheel, the 3-session package is ideal, it gives you time to throw, trim, and glaze.

Open to anyone who knows enough about Pottery to work on projects independently.

Sometimes you just want a little extra and that’s exactly what we make possible at the Clay Club. Imagine spending a few relaxing hours in the Open Atelier while enjoying a light breakfast or an aperitif.
Clay Breakfast
At the Clay Breakfast, you’ll start your morning with croissants, sourdough bread, and your favorite drink—enjoying a peaceful, relaxing morning. Afterward, you’ll have the space to experiment with clay at your own pace, explore ideas further, or simply play—alone or with others. This effortlessly creates something beautiful for your hands, mind, and heart. This isn’t a class, but rather a moment when you can embark on a journey of discovery, while our team is on hand to offer tips and advice as needed. Clay is purchased separately at the studio. The price includes both firings (bisque + glaze) as well as glazing by the Studio Roka team. Would you like to glaze your pieces yourself? Book another Breakfast Club slot two weeks later or an Open Studio slot. If you don’t want to keep anything at the end of your visit, there are no additional costs. Clay prices: 100 g of clay = CHF 4 We also offer 3- and 6-session passes.
