DESCRIPTION:We are beyond thrilled to announce that Emeric Bode\, a visionary potter whose passion for the craft has earned him unparalleled recognition\, will be leading three exclusive workshops at our studio in collaboration with Mariam Dahdah! \nRenowned for his mastery in throwing large-scale pieces and his innovative use of advanced techniques\, Emeric’s work embodies a deep love for the art of pottery and a relentless drive to push creative boundaries. For potters in Lebanon\, this is more than just a workshop -it’s a rare and transformative chance to learn directly from a true master of the craft. Emeric’s ability to blend technical precision with artistic expression is nothing short of inspiring\, and his passion for sharing knowledge is as profound as his skill. \nKey learning objectives:\nThrowing the pot in separate parts\, then assembling and throwing them again together\nThrowing and learning techniques for large pieces\nDifferent parts throwing and assembling\nOptimal trimming \nwhat to expect:\nAn in-depth\, hands-on experience designed for potters eager to expand their technical and creative limits. Participants will have the opportunity to observe Emeric’s live demonstrations and then practice under his close guidance\, exploring the challenges and rewards of throwing on a larger scale. \nThrough this workshop\, you will:\nLearn to build monumental forms by throwing in sections and mastering the reassembly process.\nGain insights into the structural and aesthetic considerations behind large-scale pottery.\nDevelop advanced trimming and finishing techniques for stability and refinement.\nReceive one-on-one mentorship and feedback tailored to your level and style. \nThis immersive learning journey combines demonstration\, guided practice\, and open discussion — allowing participants not only to refine their technical skills but also to deepen their understanding of form\, proportion\, and material behavior at scale.\nAll clay and tools will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own throwing tools if preferred.

SUMMARY:the Odyssey collection - a journey through collaboration and creation
DESCRIPTION:Fabrica Design Platform (FDP) is proud to present the Odyssey Collection\, a collaborative project that provided an opportunity for FDP ceramicist members and renowned artist Charles Khoury to merge their artistic practices in a unique exploration of form and expression. Rooted in experimentation\, this collection embodies the spirit of artistic discovery and the profound dialogue between ceramics and artistic composition. \nThe journey of the Odyssey Collection began with an open-ended brainstorming session\, where ideas flowed freely\, and the foundations of the project were laid. Charles Khoury introduced the first step in the creative process by crafting intricate paper patrons\, which served as the guiding templates for the sculptures. FDP ceramicists then employed the slab technique to bring these forms to life\, translating two-dimensional patterns into three-dimensional ceramic structures. \nEach piece underwent a meticulous process\, including firing\, glazing\, and the incorporation of mixed media to enhance the sculptures’ depth and character. Charles contributed his artistic touch by shaping certain forms\, while for the wall art pieces\, he painted directly onto glazed ceramic surfaces. These pieces were then subjected to a third firing\, fusing his work with the ceramic medium in a permanent dialogue of texture and color. \nThe name Odyssey was chosen to reflect the profound artistic voyage undertaken by all involved. Step by step\, the artists navigated the technical challenges and creative breakthroughs that defined the collection. What began in June 2024 as an ambitious project was set to be unveiled in the fall of the same year. However\, due to the war situation in Lebanon\, the project was put on hold\, leaving its completion uncertain for a time. \nDespite these challenges\, we are proud to say that we endured\, adapted\, and emerged stronger. The Odyssey Collection stands as a testament to resilience\, artistic perseverance\, and the power of collaboration in the face of adversity. Today\, we are thrilled to finally share the fruits of our labor with you. This exhibition is not just a display of ceramic art—it is a story of endurance\, transformation\, and creative synergy. \nWe invite you to experience the Odyssey Collection\, to witness the dialogue between ceramics and artistic expression\, and to embark on this journey with us. Experience this spirited collaboration with us with the making of that will be featured along the staircase\, with the final collection on the third floor and rooftop!

SUMMARY:clay conversation with Samar Mogharbel
DESCRIPTION:An Unmissable Invitation for All Students\, Clay Enthusiasts\, and Community Members! \nWe are deeply honored to host renowned ceramic artist and researcher Samar Mogharbel for a public talk that goes far beyond technique -this is an essential exploration of clay as an ethical\, process-driven practice. \nFor anyone who works with ceramics – or aspires to – this talk is a vital opportunity to reframe your understanding of the medium. Samar will guide us through key themes such as process over product\, intentional firing\, glaze consciousness\, and the mystery of the kiln\, offering a profound reconsideration of what it means to create with clay.More than a technical discussion\, this is a call to cultivate an original\, contextually rooted voice -to step away from imitation and engage ceramics with patience\, care\, and creative integrity. \nfree & open to all\nWhether you’re a student\, a practicing artist\, or simply passionate about clay\, this talk is not to be missed.\nKindly RSVP via WhatsApp so we can arrange seating accordingly—we look forward to sharing this meaningful evening with you!

SUMMARY:textures & surface decoration
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome Maria Loram to our studio this June\, all the way from Los Angeles\, for two exclusive workshops! Loram will guide participants through an immersive exploration of surface decoration\, with a focus on special effect glazes and ceramic textures. These sessions are designed to help you develop surface treatments that reflect your personal style\, blending technical glaze knowledge\, hands-on demonstrations\, and a thoughtful dive into the philosophy of creative experimentation. \nkey learning objectives:\nUnderstand the structure and chemistry of ceramic glazes\nLearn to mix\, test\, and modify glazes with confidence\nExplore special effect glazes such as crawl\, lichen\, and lava\nExperiment with flux modification and glaze behavior\nWork with advanced materials like titanium dioxide and silicon carbide\nUnderstand how colorants and mesh size affect glaze results\nUse aggregates and slips to create depth and texture\nStrengthen hands-on skills in applying and adjusting experimental glazes\nEngage in group feedback and critical discussion to refine techniques \nwhat to expect:\nParticipants will move from theory to practice -learning to craft\, test\, and refine their own glazes while gaining a deeper understanding of surface as both a technical and expressive medium. Each day will combine lecture-style discussions\, live demonstrations\, and guided studio experimentation. You’ll create a set of test tiles\, explore various surface combinations\, and leave with personalized glaze recipes and reference materials to continue developing your work. The workshops will also include collective critique sessions\, fostering a sense of shared learning and discovery within the group. Whether you’re an experienced ceramicist or an advanced beginner\, this masterclass offers an opportunity to expand your creative vocabulary and approach glazing with confidence and curiosity.\n \n
