We will work through the main steps understanding and learning ceramic techniques. A little bit of theory and mainly using your hands to create, develop your pottery. During the workshop you will learn hand built techniques and introduction to pottery throwing wheel techniques, while making your first ceramics.
At the end of the workshop you can bring home your designed ceramics,- ready to use in the kitchen! After the object is dried/fired/glazed in 2 to 4 weeks, you can take it home.
First day workshop (2 h): I will guide you to build a functional ware from start to end. We start out by sharing pottery images, then clay kneading and introducing the hand building techniques: using rolls, slabs or starting from a ball of clay. We will experiment with making a cup, plate or bowl (by your own choice and design). For the workshop we will use clay; terracotta, stoneware (the clay that is easy to work with for beginners. Also, you can choose the type of terracotta you like to work with: either smooth or clay with grains/ grog’s.
Second day workshop (2 h): I will introduce the ancient techniques of decorating, creating textures on your developed pottery. A minimal drawings/patterns with engobes (colors), using brush on unfired ceramics (the materials used are safe, non toxic).
Third day workshop (2 h): introduction to glazing techniques (engobes/ glazes).
Fourth day Workshop (2 h): introduction to the pottery wheel
