Join us in this full day ceramic workshop even if you are a complete beginner! What to expect? In the morning, we will have a coffee in the garden and have a conversation about ceramics and what You would like to make. The possibilities are endless, as you will have 5kg of Clay and plenty of molds, shapes and stamps to help you get inspired. You can make a set of bowls for your home, a sculpture, set of plates, teacups, flower pots? I will be helping you and showing different techniques, and anytime you will have doubts, I will be around to solve them. We will spend 2.5 hours creating the pieces, and then we will enjoy homemade lunch, made by myself. The lunch menu will be previously talked with every participant to check for the allergies and restrictions. After lunch and a glass of wine, we will paint on our pieces with pigments, applying different techniques such as dripping and sgraffito. Each piece will dry, get fired and bathed in glaze by me later on, to ensure the impermeability and brightness of colours you applied. The pieces will be ready to collect around one week later.
