If you really want to get your hands dirty, then ceramics is literally for you. In Level I of the Ceramics Workshop, you don't need any previous knowledge. Once a week you come to FICA to learn and develop your own ceramic pieces. In this workshop you'll learn about types of paste, hand-building techniques and decoration with engobes. Starting with the paste, throughout the sessions we will go through the various stages of the ceramics process, ending with a glazed piece (made by us) and ready to use.
No previous knowledge is required.
