Öland Spirar
Welcome to Paradisverkstaden during Öland Spirar—a weekend of craftsmanship, spring news, and inspiration for the home and garden. Discover our open workshop, experience raku firing, and enjoy a lively setting in both our shop and garden.
The full programme and schedule will be updated continuously.
Course/Create Pippi Paradise
Drawing inspiration from Öland’s rich birdlife, we explore sketching, watercolour, and decoration together with Eva and Hannah Paradis. Over two days, we work with nature studies - observing detail, rhythm, and movement, and explore how these can be translated onto the surface of ceramics.
The course is as much about observation as it is about making, offering you tools to develop your personal expression.
25–26 April
Course/Create - Mindfulness in body and clay
A two-day course where ceramics and yoga come together in a shared creative process. With the body’s movement, stillness, and balance as a starting point, we explore how presence can take shape in clay.
Through yoga sessions, mindfulness, and sketching exercises, you’ll deepen your understanding of how the body can be translated into sculpture. The course is led by Hannah, Moa, and Eva Paradis, together with yoga instructor Marie Thunberg.
A weekend for both reflection and hands-on making.
27–28 June
Course/create - Raku
Raku is a Japanese firing technique where rapid temperature changes and reduced oxygen create crackled surfaces, metallic effects, and unique expressions. The result can never be fully controlled—each piece develops its own character.
During this workshop (approx. 2.5–3 hours), you’ll be introduced to the technique and its Japanese origins. You’ll work with sketching and decoration, take part in the preparation for firing, and experience the magic as glazes crackle and surfaces transform in contact with fire.
Upcoming dates will be announced soon.

International Ceramics Day
March 12 marks International Ceramics Day, a global day that highlights the importance of ceramics in craft, design and everyday life. The day brings together ceramists and workshops around the world and focuses on the material that has accompanied humans throughout history.
At Paradisverkstaden, this is a natural opportunity to make ceramics visible as a living craft. We are holding an open house and sharing the work in the workshop, what is currently in the kiln and how the location on Öland influences our forms, colors and expressions.
We offer coffee / a warm welcome
Experiences and activities on Öland
