Ceramics and Wood-Firing Course

Cerdeira

The contents of the Ceramics and Wood-Firing Course are based on three pillars:

  • Firstly, wood-firing, an ancient technique, serves to study and learn about its wide range of aesthetic opportunities to achieve one's artistic vision.
  • Secondly, the demonstration of a wide range of construction techniques for sculpture, pottery and contemporary ceramics open new artistic paths for the works to be made by each one. All works will be wood fired in the Sasukenei - smokeless kiln.
  • Thirdly the focus of the course will be on the individual artistic development of each participant. With the diversity of ceramic techniques sometimes left a little in the background, the focus on the artistic progression of each individual is vital.

Schedule

  • Day 30: 16-18h
  • Day 1-9: 10h-13h and 15h-18h*

*The schedule is flexible on the days the kiln firing starts and ends. During the firing in the Sasukenei - Smokeless Kiln the students will be distributed by turns.
