Favorite Pieces from Clay at the Marina Market in Duisburg

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Duisburg Culture and Urban History Museum combines the Marina Market with a creative shopping experience for the whole family. From 1 PM to 5 PM, the workshop Favorite Pieces – Clay Crafting invites participants to shape their own ideas with their hands and create individual ceramic pieces.

Getting Creative with Clay

Under the guidance of Katharina Nitz, visitors can let their creativity flow. Whether it’s an animal figure, a globe with real or fictional continents, or an abstract designer piece: while molding, personal favorite pieces with their own unique form language are created. The finished works can be taken home afterwards.
