SUMMARY:nerikomi workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on exploration of Nerikomi\, the Japanese hand-building technique that layers and slices colored clays to create intricate\, naturally marbled patterns within the clay body. Led by acclaimed ceramic artist Maria Economides\, this workshop offers an intimate look into her distinctive process — where rhythm\, patience\, and material intuition converge to form vessels that celebrate the poetry of imperfection. \nParticipants will begin with a live demonstration by Maria\, followed by guided individual practice. Through her process-based approach\, students will discover how color\, texture\, and composition emerge through the thoughtful interaction of clays and pigments. By the end of the workshop\, each participant will complete two hand-built vessels\, each reflecting a different Nerikomi technique and finished using Maria’s unique trimming and surface refinement methods. \nkey learning objectives\nUnderstand the principles of the Nerikomi technique and its applications in contemporary ceramics\nLearn to work with two contrasting clay bodies — white and brown — to explore natural variation and pattern formation\nExperiment with coloring clay using pigments and stains to achieve distinct marbling effects\nHand-build and refine two vessels (up to 30 cm) using two different Nerikomi approaches\nApply Maria’s trimming and finishing techniques to enhance the final form and texture of each piece \nWhat to Expect\nHands-on instruction and live demonstrations by Maria Economides\nGuidance through the entire process — from coloring clay to constructing and finishing vessels\nAll tools and materials provided by the studio\nBisque firing of both vessels included in the workshop price

SUMMARY:ceramics for kids
DESCRIPTION:Playful\, creative sessions that introduce children to the wonderful world of clay through fun\, hands-on projects. Each class encourages kids to explore their imagination\, develop fine motor skills\, and experience the joy of shaping\, building\, and decorating their own ceramic creations. Through storytelling\, experimentation\, and guided making\, children learn how to bring their ideas to life while developing focus\, coordination\, and confidence — all in a nurturing\, inspiring environment. \nAll tools are provided. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to get a little messy! \nkey learning objectives:\nDiscover clay as a fun and expressive material for creative play.\nLearn basic handbuilding techniques such as pinching\, coiling\, and slab forming.\nDevelop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.\nPractice observation and imagination\, transforming ideas into 3D forms.\nExplore surface decoration\, painting\, and simple glazing methods.\nBuild teamwork\, patience\, and confidence through group activities and shared projects. \nwhat to expect:A lively and engaging series of sessions where every child becomes an artist! Each class begins with a short creative warm-up or theme — from animals and nature to imaginary worlds — followed by guided clay activities. Children will create a variety of playful pieces\, from small sculptures to colorful functional objects. \nPieces will be dried\, fired\, and glazed\, ready for kids to take home and treasure. The atmosphere is relaxed\, encouraging curiosity\, creativity\, and discovery at every step.
