WORKSHOP 2024

Courses on porcelain in my studio.

Workshops in my studio in the beautiful Italian city of Faenza:

Faenza, an ancient city where its origins are lost in the 2nd century BC. following the Roman conquest, it has a long history of art and culture. In addition to its fame for ceramics, the city is known for its beautiful architecture, the kindness of its inhabitants and the ease of communication with other cities such as Florence, Bologna, Ravenna and Venice.

The home of the studio/showroom is located in Via Laghi, a few steps away from the train station and the city centre. This house was built in the early 1900s, one of the most beautiful and particular houses on the street, in the past a Venetian glass factory, with an almost Moorish expressive architecture.

For those who know nothing about this material and for those who want to shorten the time of learning, experience and failure / Per chi non conosce niente di questo materiale e desidera abbreviare i tempi di apprendimento, l’esperienza e i fallimenti.

BUILDING WITH COLOR

Multi-techniques with colored porcelain with my personal methods through colored modules building with and without the use of molds / Multi tecniche con porcellana colorata con i miei metodi personali attraverso moduli colorati costruendo con e senza l’utilizzo di stampi.

A fascinating technique to test one’s mental processes and manual skills, where the color of the porcelain body becomes shape and decoration at the same time.

What you will learn: how to prepare colored porcelain bodies, successively, learn and apply multi-techniques with colored porcelain and diferent artist’s personal methods, the result of research during the last 20 years of sculptural work. Each participant, after several exercises and sketches, will be able to develop several small personal projects through colored modules prepared with and without the use of molds.

LIGHTNESS AND TRANSLUCENCY

Precise and very complex techniques using slip porcelain and “paper porcelain” / Tecniche precise e molto complesse utilizzando porcellana liquida e “carta di porcellana”.

Transparency is one of the most important qualities of porcelain and a lenght, precise and very accurate processing is usually required to obtain a piece of exquisite beauty highlighted by the translucency against the light. What we would do in this course: teaching the different simple and complex techniques that will facilitate and enhance creativity to develop many projects. We would make use of slip porcelain with and “paper porcelain” without the use of molds and with a chapter dedicated to firing curves. And finally we will build special supports used in the firing of very thin and light objects.
