De Oude Pottenbakkerij: a focus on firing clay

De Oude Pottenbakkerij in Milsbeek covers pottery and flowerpot production, with a wood-fired kiln and chimney as highlights. Brickworks heritage and ceramics activities are also part of what is described.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking at a kiln

The shape of a kiln raises questions about loading, heating and unloading. Use the explanations to understand how it works, without assuming there will be a firing demonstration.

An everyday product

The flowerpot offers a familiar way into production and craft. See how the museum explains the steps from material to product and where handwork or technique is highlighted.

Working with ceramics yourself

Workshops have their own schedule and require registration. Ask which activity is available and how it fits alongside a museum visit, rather than assuming you can simply join in.

Before you go

Check the current season weekends and occasional closing days. Groups can arrange appointments all year round; ask separately about accessibility and workshop conditions.
