This introductory workshop aims to provide a solid foundation in the practice of ceramics through the creation of a mug with an infuser – a functional object that allows participants to test most of the fundamental principles of the craft.

To begin with, participants will attend a brief presentation to help them understand the raw material involved and the tools available for working with it. In addition, they will be able to consult books on the subject and examine examples of work on display.

Next, by creating a simple object from clay, they will be encouraged to develop the knowledge they have acquired in a sustained manner.

All materials (clay, engobes, tools) and firings (bisque and glaze in an electric kiln) are included.
