SUMMARY:special effects glazes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an immersive\, hands-on exploration of glaze chemistry and colour development with Athena Kontonikolaki. This intensive workshop introduces the foundations of ceramic glazes\, guiding participants through the science behind successful glaze formulation while developing a systematic approach to testing and experimentation. Through Athena’s research-driven practice\, participants will discover how chemistry\, raw materials\, and colour interact to create beautiful\, reliable ceramic surfaces. \nParticipants will begin with live demonstrations by Athena\, followed by guided glaze mixing\, testing\, application\, and experimentation. Students will learn the principles of transparent\, white\, and matte glazes\, explore colour development\, layering techniques\, lava\, crawl\, crystalline glazes\, and build a personal glaze testing library that can serve as a valuable studio resource. The workshop concludes with a fired results discussion\, allowing participants to evaluate their tests\, troubleshoot outcomes\, and deepen their understanding of glaze behaviour. \nBy the end of the program\, participants will have developed a strong foundation in glaze chemistry\, gained confidence in systematic glaze testing\, and acquired the knowledge to formulate\, modify\, and refine glazes for their own ceramic practice. \nkey learning objectives\n\nUnderstand the fundamentals of glaze chemistry and raw materials.\nLearn systematic methods for glaze testing and documentation.\nDevelop transparent\, white\, matte\, and coloured glazes.\nExplore colour development and glaze layering techniques.\nBuild a personal glaze testing library for future reference.\nDevelop techniques for achieving consistent special effects.\nAnalyze fired glaze results and troubleshoot glaze behaviour.\nGain insight into Athena Kontonikolaki’s approach to glaze research and experimentation. \nwhat to expect \nLive demonstrations by Athena Kontonikolaki.\nDaily hands-on glaze mixing and testing sessions.\nGuided experimentation with glaze recipes and colour development.\nIndividual guidance and technical support throughout the workshop.\nCreation of glaze test tiles and reference samples.\nFired results discussion and glaze analysis session.\nA collaborative\, research-focused studio environment designed for learning and experimentation.

SUMMARY:ceramic painting & illustration techniques
DESCRIPTION:Transform ceramics into storytelling surfaces in this creative\, hands-on class that merges art\, illustration\, and functionality. Participants will learn how to treat clay as a canvas — exploring underglaze painting\, surface design\, and decorative composition to create expressive\, personalized pieces. Guided by demonstrations and individual feedback\, you’ll discover how color\, line\, and texture can bring narrative and emotion to your work. Whether your inspiration comes from nature\, memory\, or abstract expression\, this class invites you to explore storytelling through the language of surface. \nAll  tools are provided. Open to all levels. \nkey learning objectives:\nUnderstand the fundamentals of underglaze painting and color layering on ceramic surfaces.\nLearn drawing\, illustration\, and composition techniques adapted for clay.\nExplore surface treatments\, from linework and pattern to painterly effects.\nDevelop a personal narrative or theme expressed through visual design.\nGain control of the relationship between form\, color\, and glaze finish.\nCreate finished\, functional or decorative ceramic pieces that tell a story. \nwhat to expect:A dynamic and expressive studio experience where each participant creates a collection of handbuilt or wheel-thrown pieces decorated with original designs. Sessions include guided exercises in sketching\, color testing\, and surface application\, followed by individual work time to refine your ideas. \nExpect a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere where creativity and experimentation are encouraged. By the end of the course\, you’ll have developed both technical painting skills and a unique visual language on clay — transforming your pieces into works of art that blend story\, color\, and form.

SUMMARY:ceramics for teens
DESCRIPTION:Playful\, creative sessions that introduce teens 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.
