Ceramics - pottery - pottery - plasterwork

​

Ceramics is an activity that combines technique, aesthetics and self-expression of the craftsman. In the courses aimed at "anxious" beginners, the student will come into contact with basic clay techniques through which he will be able to construct different kinds of forms of increasing difficulty. During the lessons he will learn the use of bandanas and apply a variety of decorative techniques. He will use different qualities of clay and get to know the technique of plasterwork, i.e. the making of clay objects using molds 

​

These techniques are the following:

• Macaroni (basic technique for forms with and without symmetry)

• Pinching (for small and organic forms)

• Sheets (form constructions with glued (welded) sheets and rolled sheets in a cylindrical mold

• Volumes (solid volumes shaped by appropriate processing)

• Introduction to the technique of clay molds.

• After the form is completed and perfected, the student decorates the objects with a variety of techniques, which are then fired to receive in their hands a complete result of their entire journey with clay.

The student will be able to experiment with red (terracotta) and white (faience) low temperature clays.
