Introduction to Ceramics through a theorethical and practical approach. The course’s objective is to en-courage participants to learn the basic techniques through research, experimentation and manipulation of the ceramic materials in the context of creative exercises presented throughout the school year, in the pro-jects class. We will learn basic building techniques in clay and paper clay, with coils, slab and carving block, engobes, glaze and coloured pastes, casting slips and porcelain; wheel, molds; firing in eletric and gas kilns, as well as different types of finishes. Experimentation and concentration are highly emphasized as factors of rigour and progress.

History of Ceramics: From the clay the gods have molded people; from the burned ground we cre-ate what we want
On-line classes
Teacher: Manuela Correia Braga
Dates: 19 Apr to 7 Jun 2027
Horário: Mondays 18h00 to 20h00
From Nature the ground, the water and the heat were harnessed to build shelters and defence works. With terra sigilata and pigments small mugs and casseroles and tiles for the walls and for roof and eave were made. Burned ground was used for clay jug, olive oil jar or water drinking in a scented Estremoz contain-er. And small beautiful fine porcelain figures – or ugly as the devil in popular handicraft – have been pro-duced.
Between sacred and profane – prehistoric flutes, ornaments for godesses and warriors, lamentations in churches, oratories in crossroads and paths, micro-conducters in technology - it takes all sorts of things to make a world and an entire world to know its history and art.
