Nice to meet you
I'm Michal, and I teach hands to listen to clay
I studied ceramics at Bezalel and spent six years working in studios in Kyoto and Lisbon. In 2014 I opened this studio in Florentin: a small room with a big window, seven wheels and a kiln that fires almost every night.
Anyone can make a piece they'll love using. So the groups stay small, the pace stays calm, and I come round to each of you until the movement clicks.
- Up to 6 at the wheel, up to 8 for handbuilding
- Clay, glazes and two firings included
- Coffee, tea and homemade cake at the break
- Classes in English or Hebrew

Kind words
Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 186 Google reviews
I walked in knowing nothing and left with three mugs I drink from every morning. Michal is the most patient teacher I've met. She shows the same movement again and again until your hands get it.
We booked the couples workshop as an anniversary gift and it was our best evening of the year. The mugs came out just the right amount of wonky.
We brought a team of 14 to Michal for a team day. Nobody looked at their phone for three hours, and everyone took home a bowl with their name carved in the bottom.
