This technique is incredibly useful if not to say essential for creting ceramic vessels of numerous shapes and functions and adding a new dimention to your work. In this session you will try it out, learn different tips and trick on handling the clay with this approach.

Aug 19 - 18:30-20:30 - Engobes

Current session will be devoted to Engobes - one of the main materials used to give color to your ceramic creations. You will learn different techniques of working with it. As Engobes are applied to green ware (not yet fired clay objects), during this session you will be welcome to continue experimenting with hand-building.

Aug 26 - 18:30-20:30 - Glazes, Colorstains & Oxides

Glazes are the queens of coloring, colorstains & Oxides are the best way to spice it up! You will learn how to create stunning and experimental glass-platings on your clay objects.

On top of that, each of the participants will be offered:  

• Inspiring project-based homework to make sure that through this course you confidently step into whatever you were dreaming about making
• Assistance and tools required to set up a ceramic working station at home (wherever you have 1m2 of table surface) + 2 kg of clay. If your project will grow into a big scale, aditional clay will be available for purchase at 14 euro/ 2kg
• Personal consultation time with the course holder (to make sure you successfully advance with your project and know exactly, what is the next craftsmanship step towards a splendid result)
• Covered firing costs of the ceramic items you create at home during the first two weeks of the course, and all the items you make in class. Further firing will be available at a firing rate of our Firing Hub - Clayground

Your Teacher:

Viviane Tabach works in the areas of curatorship, art education, and fine arts. She founded ceramic brand Lebú in 2014 and ran her own workshop and art space in São Paolo, Brasil. As a ceramics teacher with many years of experience, in her classes she seeks to collectively investigate the experience of hand-building with clay. The contact with clay for her is as a way to connect with nature, negotiation between intention and intuition in shaping, observation of the contrast between our rhythm and the clay's pace.
