Ceramic Flash - Pinch
August 26th, 2021
Thursday from 6pm - 9pm
Price - 40€ (Material included)
Trainer - Carolina Andrade from FICA Oficina Criativa
Flash Ceramics Workshops have 4 variants: Rolos, Bola, Maciço Ocado and Lastra. These are the 4 existing techniques for hand-forming ceramics.
This workshop will look specifically at the Ball technique, or Pinch in English. Although there doesn't have to be a specific order in the approach to hand-building techniques, the ball technique is usually the preferred one to start with. As well as requiring few tools, it's a technique that allows you to have a great deal of contact with the properties of the raw material and to handle the paste in a very free way. The aim of this workshop is to build some pieces using this technique, from bowls, mugs or small plates and to use engobes to decorate them.
No previous knowledge is required and all the variants of the Ceramics Flash Workshops can be done in no particular order.
Flash Workshops are 3-hour sessions where we introduce you to some of the techniques we have in the workshop. The idea is to explain to you how the principles, tools and utensils of each of these crafts work in general, but also our working methodology. In short, with these workshops you can move on to the next step, which would be to make a workshop.
