The workshop in detail
During this 2.5-hour workshop, Victor will guide you through the key stages of the pottery-making process. It will begin with an introduction to the workshop space and the essential tools of the trade, including a roller pin, canvas, and carving tools. Then, get hands-on with clay as Victor demonstrates the artistry and techniques involved.
You will shape and mould the clay, allowing your imagination to take flight. Explore different forms and sizes, creating unique textures and patterns. Engage in the delightful process of decoration, whether its carving intricate designs or experimenting with painting techniques. The possibilities are endless, and you'll be amazed at the personal touch you can infuse into your creation.
Once participants have completed their masterpieces, Victor takes over. He will glaze and fire the pieces, ensuring a professional finish. Participants can return to collect their creations three weeks later. In case you can't make it within three months, Victor will safely store your ceramic light ball for you.
