Sculptural Ceramic Vases \u2013 form, volume and presence<\/h3>\n

In this workshop you will design and build your own sculptural ceramic vase<\/strong>, a large-format piece that combines functionality with artistic presence.<\/p>\n

You will create a vase of up to 40 cm in height<\/strong>, exploring organic forms that grow progressively through gesture and volume.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using the coil building technique, you will learn how to build height in a controlled way while developing a form<\/strong> with its own character.<\/p>\n

Throughout the process we will explore:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd36 proportions
\n\ud83d\udd36 structural balance
\n\ud83d\udd36 sculptural presence<\/p>\n

The goal is to create not just a container, but an object with identity and strong visual presence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We will work through the entire process:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd36 initial design
\n\ud83d\udd36 structural planning
\n\ud83d\udd36 volume construction
\n\ud83d\udd36 final finishing details<\/p>\n

Workshop led by ceramic artist Cora Sabourin<\/strong>, a French-Brazilian artist based in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What will you learn in this workshop?<\/h3>\n

In this sculptural ceramic vase workshop<\/strong> you will learn:<\/p>\n

\u2705 How to design and plan a large ceramic vase (up to 40 cm high).
\n\u2705 The coil building technique to build volume progressively<\/strong>.
\n\u2705 How to create height while maintaining structural stability<\/strong>.
\n\u2705 Techniques to reinforce the structure and prevent deformation<\/strong>.
\n\u2705 How to manage drying times<\/strong> during construction.
\n\u2705 Proportion, balance and sculptural presence in large ceramic pieces.
\n\u2705 Final finishes and details to give character to your vase.<\/p>\n

Why take this workshop?<\/h3>\n

Creating large ceramic pieces<\/strong> requires understanding the relationship between structure, volume and drying time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This workshop will guide you through the process and give you the technical tools needed to create more ambitious and sculptural ceramic works.<\/p>\n

Beyond the technical learning, you will experience a creative process where gesture, clay and rhythm<\/strong> combine to shape a unique object.<\/p>\n

By the end of the workshop you will have created your own sculptural ceramic vase from scratch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No previous experience is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n
