Trainer - Henriette Arcelin

Combined with traditional construction techniques, ceramics can be explored in a more free and artistic way. In this workshop, along with the perception and understanding of the various stages of clay and construction techniques, you will learn the different stages of producing a three-dimensional piece inspired by nature and organic motifs.

Divided into two sessions, we will go through the different stages of production, from conception to construction, in the first session. The second session (with the piece already fired) will be dedicated to glazing: preparing the glaze, glazing with a brush/dip/stroke, but also painting on raw glass with high-fire paints.

No previous knowledge is required.
