Is there a better activity that stimulates and develops both brain hemispheres in such a pleasant and natural way as working with clay?
In our Ceramic Workshop course, children will explore all the basic techniques of working with clay (coil building, slab construction, sculpting, wheel throwing, molding, and slip casting) and ceramic decoration (engobing, glazing, and decorating with glass).
They will also learn the basics of drawing and painting (with a focus on color theory), which complement ceramic creation and contribute to the overall development of aesthetic sensitivity. As a bonus, the course includes sessions on creating enamel products.

Working with clay is a slow process; there’s no need to rush... Let’s dive together into a state of deep concentration, shaping and forming... Let’s explore, touch, and experiment. Be your own guide, discovering the harmonious form that reflects your aesthetic or personal vision. Let’s uncover the dimensions of our soul, allowing our hands to shape the clay. Approach it with the curiosity of a child. You can adjust the shape and form as you feel and desire. Try throwing clay on the wheel, make your first bowl, vase, dish, or mug...
Let’s get our hands dirty with clay and cleanse ourselves of stress, tension, and negative emotions. Take a moment to embrace your creativity and playfulness.
In this semester-long Ceramic Course, we will explore all the fundamental techniques of working with clay (coil building, slab construction, sculpting, wheel throwing, molding, and slip casting) and ceramic decoration (engobing, various glazing techniques, and decorating with glass).
We will also cover the basics of drawing and painting, which go hand in hand with ceramic creation and help develop aesthetic sensitivity. As a bonus, the course includes sessions on creating enamel products. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to bring your own designs to life.
