Ceramics for Beginners with Renato Costa e Silva e Kerstin Thomas

Sign up for this course and pay in two installments.

The Ceramics for Beginners Course offers an intensive and embracing approach.

Understanding the whole ceramics process, from the preparation of the clay to form giving, from glazing to tool making and firing, that’s what we propose - six days of intense ceramic work, conversation, and silence in our studio.

Knowing and choosing the right clay for our pieces and each ceramic technique is fundamental for successful work. We will create our pieces, molding and modeling, building, sculpting, or working on the potter's wheel. We will also get to know the advantages of each technique and benefit from your newly acquired knowledge.

You’ll have access to a small specialized library for those who wish to be inspired or deepen their knowledge.

At the end of the Ceramics Workshop for Beginners, we learn to fire our works, draw conclusions about the firing processes and, of course, take home some very special artworks.
