Filaments and textures

The main goal of the workshop is to model clay directly with your hands, without the use of tools. This will allow you to communicate directly with the clay and convey your feelings.

Using the "throwing" technique, we will create textured slabs, square, flat, and rectangular filaments, and rocky textures using pigmented biscuits. We will apply pigments and glazes, in powder and liquid form, to the still-wet clay, so that only one firing is required. We will discover how all these techniques can be applied not only to sculpture, but also to functional ceramics.

In this workshop, I aim to tell stories of hope through our pieces, starting with absolute freedom and improvisation, without obsessing over technique.

The workshop takes place over the course of a full day, with a short lunch break from 12:30 to 1:00 PM. Course language: Spanish with simultaneous translation.
