Peace Out Paradise

You’ll find Peace out Paradise tucked away in the second backyard of a building on Dieffenbachstraße, a bright and spacious ceramics studio in the middle of Kreuzberg's Graefekiez. The whole space is dedicated to the craft, with one area filled with pottery wheels for throwing and another set with large tables for hand-building. It’s a clean, functional facility with on-site kilns to handle all the firing. The studio operates as a community hub for clay enthusiasts, with a clear structure that accommodates everyone from first-timers to independent artists. The entire system is built around a progression – a way to learn the fundamentals and then grow into a regular practitioner. Most people start with a one-off taster session or a multi-week short course, which provide a foundational understanding of either wheel-throwing or hand-building. There are also specific workshops focused on glazing techniques or ceramic painting, and private events can be arranged for groups. For those who can work independently, the studio offers memberships and time card options. This gives you regular access to the space and equipment, letting you work on your own projects alongside a community of other local ceramicists. It’s a shared, collaborative environment without the formal structure of a class. The studio also supports the broader Berlin ceramics scene with an external kiln firing service for artists who work off-site, and you can even grab "Take Away Clay" for projects at home. Keep an eye out for their occasional ceramic markets, which transform the studio into a showcase for local makers.
