architectural ceramics – hand-building monumental vessels

We’re thrilled to welcome Tamara Al Issa from Toronto for an intensive, hands-on workshop in architectural ceramics. Known for her monumental sculptural work, Tamara will guide participants through the technical and conceptual processes behind creating large-scale ceramic forms. This workshop offers a rare opportunity to develop advanced construction techniques and gain insight into the structural logic of complex ceramic assemblies.

key learning objectives:
An immersive, process-driven exploration of large-scale ceramics, including:
Advanced hand-building methodologies for monumental forms
Structural integrity and internal support strategies
Precision in joining complex components
Final surface refinement and assembly of large works

what to expect:
Participants will design and construct a bisque-fired monumental sculptural vessel, applying professional techniques in form building, stabilization, and finishing.
