Ceramic course – complete version
This is what you’ll learn in this course
Always wanting to give it a try… With that in mind we designed for you a complete ceramic course with everything you need to be autonomous and produce any ceramic piece.
You’ll learn hand building techniques (working the 2 main techniques: coiling and slabs); followed by learning to throw (we’ll go from beginner to advanced – from the initial pieces such as bowls and cylinders to larger pieces, narrow neck, pieces with lids, etc.). Then we’ll introduce you to an ancient technique of firing pieces, called Raku. Followed by the cherry on the cake – you’ll have access to our atelier to practice everything you have learned.
Program and dates:
Wheel throwing module I: Monday 3rd to Thursday 6th November, from 10am to 2pm.
You’ll learn to center (a must in the wheel process) and how to throw various forms: cylinders (which is the basis of any thrown shape), bowls, cups and pieces with handles. We will fire a selection of your best 6 pieces (chosen by you). All the pieces are functional – you can use them daily (and they are not afraid of microwave nor dishwasher!).
Slip casting mold: Sat 15th Nov from 10am to 4pm and Sat 29th Nov from 10am to 2pm.
Learn to make a casting mold to reproduce your pieces.
Glazing class: Friday date to be confirmed, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
We’ll teach you to glaze the selected pieces produced in the hand building and wheel workshops.
Access to the studio’s infrastructure to practice what you have learned: Monday 3rd Nov to Friday 28th Nov, from 11am to 6pm. You’ll be gifted with 1 pack of stoneware. If you’d like to fire any piece made during your practice time, we can calculate its corresponding cost for you.
