| Beginners class The beginners class is for people who have no experience with ceramics at all, or very little. In 14 lessons you will learn the basic techniques to make ceramic objects, from teapots and cups to statues. First each technique will be introduced with precise instructions to make a certain object. After that, the students will get the chance to freely apply this new technique in their own work. There will be much attention for decorating and using different types of glaze and 'engobes'. Throughout the course you will be developing your creativity, you will be looking at things in an exploring way and you will find your own sources for inspiration. |
In the advanced class students work from a given theme. A theme is discussed in class and all sorts of things, pictures, objects etc. which in one way or another are related to the theme are gathered to serve as an inspiration. Each student works out the theme in his own individual way and in the technique or combination of techniques of his own preference. Of course advice and technical support are available at any time. Throughout the course students will be looking at and discussing their own and each others work. It is most interesting and inspiring to see people work out a theme in different ways.
