On the first day, you will make small pieces of ceramics with different pastes that best adapt to cooking in rudimentary ovens. Acquire knowledge about how ovens work so that you can cook safely afterwards. At the end of the third day, you can take the ceramic pieces out of the kiln, evaluate the firing processes and, of course, take them home.
Program:
Creation of different ceramic pastes for different purposes;
Construction and operation of a small rudimentary pottery kiln (paper kiln, wood-fired pipe kiln, and small gas kilns);
Preparation of ceramic pieces for firing;
Decoration with engobes and glazing.
