The basic ceramics course aims to provide the fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge on working with clay, from designing an artifact to its creation using the main manual construction techniques such as the slab and the colombino. The course will alternate short theoretical moments with practical exercises in which the various methods of working with clay, modeling and coloring the artifacts will be addressed. Through a brief history of ceramics and the observation of examples, it will be possible to broaden the knowledge of a vast, varied and ever-evolving creative world. The teachers will follow each individual participant, adapting the program to their specific needs and peculiarities.
