A new series of three self-contained Ceramic Workshops is awaiting you!
Workshop 1: Building a Relief Picture
In this workshop we transform an idea or an image that we like into a three-dimensional picture. It could be a portrait, a landscape, a plant or animal, a mandala or just anything that you can imagine. There are no limits! After the pieces are fired we will meet again and paint them with acrylics.
Here you can find pictures of some examples.
23/11/2024 Saturday, 10:00-17:00 with a break for lunch which I will provide.
7/12/2024 Saturday, 10:00-13:00 painting and finishing the relief.
Workshop 2: Mobile – Art Decor to Hang
We make mobiles or any kind of art decor you can hang from the ceiling, on a wall, in a tree or on your balcony.
On the first day we build decorative pieces of different shapes and sizes out of clay and after the drying and firing process we meet again to decorate the pieces with acrylic paints and assemble them with strings to create a mobile.
We can also combine them with pieces of different materials such as wooden sticks, beads, pendants, amulets or whatever you find suitable.
Here are some examples.
24/11/2024 Sunday, 10:00-17:00 with a break for lunch which I will provide.
8/12/2024 Sunday, 10:00-13:00 painting and putting together the mobile.
Workshop 3: Winter Night Lanterns
We will learn step by step different techniques for building a lantern which can have almost any kind of shape. Once it’s built we can cut out patterns and shapes where the candle light will shine through.
When the lanterns are dried and fired I will treat them with a white or a dark wash (as you prefer) which will leave visible the terracotta colour of the clay underneath. Then they get fired a second time.
Here are some examples.
30/11/2024 Saturday, 10:00-17:00 with a break for lunch which I will provide.
