Ceramic Sculpture Course

With this course we would like to offer you the chance to explore the world of ceramic sculpture. 

Within this autumn intensive course you would:

• Get to know clay as a creative material for working with sculpture.
• Create your own sculpture piece over the course of the classes.
• Get an overview of diverse creative possibilities in the field of ceramic sculpture.
• Get acquainted with different techniques and visual directions.
• Learn all the major clay sculpture techniques in an intuitive hands-on way.
• Get an introduction to working with Natural Glazing techniques and components.

Stepping beyond the topic of ceramic sculpture, this course will offer an opportunity to get in touch with using natural materials for glazing your sculptural pieces. The mentor of the course - studio founder - Elizaveta Barsega has a background of 8 years of research and experimental work in the field. 

Alternatively, you would be welcome to keep your pieces in raw clay. 

This Course is a brilliant opportunity if you are traveling to Berlin this Autumn and would like your educational clay experience to happen within one week.
