The courses proposed here
were suggested in face of the impossibility encountered by some people to
attend the workshop when I normally hold my classes.
The first pupil was and is, Diana Barabino: Dear Diana, what a lot we learn
together!! With her I discover that through this act it is possible to develop
a learning experience in certain ceramic techniques. I send her the theory
notes plus the practical works, she them informs me of the results, and so the
course develops.
Proposed Courses
• Colour: All the possibilities of colour in low
temperature ceramics are studied: oxides, salts, pigments, underglazes, glazes
etc.
• Raku: Beginning with the history of Raku, its
philosophy and practice.
• Sawdust Firing: A study of the clay to be used and
possibilities of different elements in reduction.
• Consultants: Various subjects
or themes are stipulates and during the consulting I put
forward my knowledge in a previously arranged time period.
Practical subjects such flaws in lazes, kilns and firing
problems, etc.
The idea of a consulting organization is ideal for those
who, although have ceramic knowledge, need to improve it
or have concrete doubts.
