Denise Kratzer is the owner of db-pottery. She has a degree in business administration and event marketing. During the Corona period, she created her own pottery brand, db-pottery. However, she has already been working regularly and passionately with clay for four years.
Pottery has now become a focal point in her life, an activity where she can realize herself and escape from everyday life for a short time. The high level of concentration at the potter's wheel and its continuous motion have a meditative, almost hypnotic effect. Denise is doing something for her mind and soul - something that is unfortunately often neglected in everyday life. Based on her own experience, she can therefore recommend her motto to everyone: "Clear your mind with dirtty hands."
Ljubica Jozic is the course instructor (English) of L Shapes Ceramics and right hand of db-pottery Studio. She learned and fell in love with her craft in her hometown, Belgrade. Since then she has been fascinated by clay. Her creations on the wheel as well as her hand-built objects speak for themselves. Ljubica teaches the db-pottery taster and quick courses in English.
Katrin is the co-founder of A-Frame and has built up the entire yoga area there. She is a trained yoga and meditation teacher and a qualified sports scientist. Her interest in people and their holistic health has shaped her path from the very beginning. Her classes are characterized by detailed instruction and a pleasant balance between calm and dynamism. She wants to create a space where everyone can come into their own and develop to the maximum. In addition to the physical aspect, Katrin loves yoga philosophy and psychology and incorporates this content into her classes through meditations, journaling and short lectures. For Katrin, yoga is a holistic approach to life that goes beyond physical activity and brings mindfulness into all areas of our lives.
"Clear Your Mind With Dirty Hands" - We are very much looking forward to this special 1-week retreat where we combine traditional craftsmanship with yoga. Surrounded by beautiful nature and right on the Atlantic Ocean, we invite you to recharge your batteries, relax and create something new with your hands.

Denise from db-pottery studio in Zurich has been to our camp several times with her family for family surfing vacations. This gave rise to the desire to bring her passion for pottery to this magical place. She has been working with clay since 2016 and runs a pottery studio with 70 members, where she regularly runs workshops. Together with her colleague Ljubica, she will guide you with all her knowledge, experience and passion through this pottery week, which is also a journey to you and your creativity.
