Course of the workshop (2h) :

• Introduction to throwing: understanding posture, anchoring the body and fundamental gestures
• Clay preparation and installation on the wheel
• Working with the material to give it shape and volume, as you feel it
• Selection, with the craftswoman, of the most accomplished piece, which will be kept for the rest of the process.
• Your creation will then be entrusted to Elena, who will take care of drying, firing and glazing. You'll have a choice of transparent or black glaze for the finish.
