Description

Once you've learned the main hand-forming techniques, there's still a long way to go in the world of ceramics. The Ceramic Decoration and Coatings Workshop will cover more than twenty decorative techniques in all stages of the paste, from raw to fired.

Starting with the construction of small tiles made by you, throughout the sessions we will go through the various stages of textures, decoration and ceramic coating processes: engobes, water paints and glazing, ending with the set of pieces that will become your showcase of decorative techniques.

No previous knowledge is required. Attendance at the Ceramics Workshop - Manual Forming, prior to this workshop, is not compulsory.

Minimum age for participation: 16 years / Accompanied by an adult (two entries): 14 years
