Ceramics in practice | Ceramics in practice
Clay, a primal substance, alongside soil and water, is a fundamental raw material -simple, abundantly provided by nature, and enduring through the ages. It possesses the unique ability to shape, transform, encapsulate, and give form to dreams, fantasies, needs, beliefs, and doctrines. In this ceramic workshop, we will embark on a journey to explore this ancient art form through play and enjoyment.
Ceramics is more than just an artistic activity -it's a way to express yourself, create with your hands, and unwind. Through working with clay, you'll discover the joy of shaping something from scratch, bringing your own ideas to life. Come and experiment with basic ceramic techniques, play with the materials, and create your own piece, inspired by Ancient Greece!
Together we will make the figures of Phoebe and Athina, the two siblings, who represent team spirit, participation and fair play… our 2004 Olympic Games mascots, both inspired by gods - the first inspired by the god Apollo-Phoebe, god of sun and music, and the second by the goddess Athina, goddess of wisdom. No previous experience is needed - just a willingness to try something new and let your crativity unwind!
