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:advanced sculpture ceramic art
DESCRIPTION:Push the boundaries of clay as a sculptural medium in this advanced\, hands-on course designed for artists seeking to explore form\, texture\, and scale. \nParticipants will experiment with a range of construction methods and complex joining techniques while developing works that move fluidly between abstraction and figuration. Through guided exploration\, you’ll learn how to translate ideas into expressive sculptural compositions that challenge balance\, proportion\, and material limits. \nThe course also delves into surface development\, exploring carving\, layering\, and finishing techniques that enhance form and gesture. Emphasis will be placed on conceptual thinking\, allowing each participant to cultivate a personal language in clay that reflects both technical mastery and artistic vision. \nAll tools are provided. Some prior experience with hand-building or sculpture is recommended. \nkey learning objectives:\nExplore the expressive potential of clay as a sculptural medium beyond functional form.\nLearn advanced construction and joining techniques for complex structures.\nDevelop a deeper understanding of balance\, proportion\, and composition in three-dimensional design.\nExperiment with surface treatments — carving\, layering\, and textural development — to enhance form and movement.\nStrengthen conceptual and critical thinking\, translating personal ideas into sculptural outcomes.\nRefine craftsmanship and structural stability for larger-scale pieces. \nwhat to expect:A process-driven and exploratory course combining technical development with creative experimentation. Each session will include demonstrations\, guided exercises\, and open studio practice. Participants will begin with small-scale studies to test form and balance before advancing toward one or more finalized sculptural pieces that integrate the learned techniques. \nExpect a collaborative and reflective studio environment with individual feedback\, group discussions\, and opportunities to present and critique work. By the end of the course\, participants will have developed both a refined technical foundation and a stronger personal sculptural identity in clay.
