Projects in the ceramic workshop will be executed using the techniques and types of decoration specific to burned clay, faience and porcelain. The students will learn the technique of shaping the clay by raising it up by hand and also the moulding technique. They will learn what are the differences among materials and how to fix colored clays by firing in the ceramic kiln.
Burnt clay
The pots and the decorative objects made out of clay are hand made or with the help of the mould and they get to be decorated with coloured earth which get fixed on them by burning in the ceramics oven. Your firs project in burnt clay will be worked in the ceramics workshop under the direct supervision of the teacher from whom you will learn techniques and types of decorations and who will help you convey exactly your ideas.
Tile
Is a dense matter, with a higher burning temperature than the burnt clay, which you can use for decorating walls, or for creating decorative objects. The ceramics teacher will explain you what are the differences between the matters and which fit best to your desired project.
Porcelain
Preciousness of porcelain is easy to recognise in the sophisticated, laced decorations of the famous old maestros, as well as in the contemporary jewellery of the greatest designers.
