​​​A workshop on the fundamentals of ceramics, with a focus on throwing and alternative firing techniques.

​

The workshop is suitable for all levels of experience- from the true beginner to the very advanced-and is designed to fit the individual needs of each participant. The course will cover centering, throwing cylinders, bowls, round and closed forms, bottles and lids, and trimming bases. More experienced students will learn how to center and throw larger amounts of clay by multi-part section centering, throwing and assembling, and they will improve their skills in more complex pottery forms.
You will be introduced to basic glaze theory and techniques, including terra sigillata.

​

The workshop also aims to give you a very good hands-on understanding of the use of fire in contemporary ceramic practice.

We will cover:

• Glazed raku​

• Naked raku

• Copper mattes

    

 The workshop is limited  to 5 students only, in order to ensure individualized and focused tutoring.

There will be plenty of time during and after the daily program for discussions on ceramic art and art in general in both formal and informal meetings. A well-stocked library will be at your disposal, with access to full internet facilities.
