Led by ceramicist, painter and product designer Lidia Boševski, the course challenges participants to observe and follow nature's stimuli, to unleash their creativity and natural sense of harmony and aesthetics. Free from preconceptions and expectations, the pieces will be an integral part of nature.
Participants have the opportunity to create their own collection of ceramic objects inspired by learning and days spent immersed in nature.
Programme:
. ‘Seeing’ nature with all your senses - exploring the surrounding nature of the village to collect natural materials to be used during the course;
. Testing and preparing the pastes and materials collected;
. Creation of ceramic pieces;
. Firing the pieces;
. Creating tools from natural materials.
NOTE: A course support guide will be provided by the trainer for registered participants.
