Atelier Poterie Chez El' Annecy

Chez El' Pottery Workshop is a ceramics and pottery studio in Annecy (74000). The workshop offers intro sessions, multi-session clinics for kids, teens and adults, and regular classes for enthusiasts. You'll learn the various techniques: hand-building (coil, slab), pottery wheel, slip decoration, glazing and firing. All gear (clay, tools, aprons) is provided, and finished pieces are fired by the studio and handed back in a later session.

Who is it for? Chez El' welcomes families with children from age 5-6 (on suitable workshops), teens and beginner or experienced adults. It's also a popular spot for kids' birthdays (themed activity, cake possible), creative outings with friends, original stag/hen parties and corporate workshops (creative team-building). Workshops run in small groups for personalised attention from the host, in a warm and creative atmosphere.

Practical info and access. Booking essential for clinics and workshops — schedule on chez-el.com or by phone. Prices are around €30-50 per session depending on the format (duration, materials, firing), with multi-session passes and group/birthday rates. Finished pieces are fired (and glazed if chosen) and returned 2 to 3 weeks later. The studio has tables, wheels, kilns and professional gear. Ideal alongside a day in Annecy in rainy weather or in winter.
