Personalized Training at Our Studio

In our sessions, guidance is fully individualized, and we adapt completely to your pace so you can maximize your potential. You won’t just make your own pieces; you will understand the science and art behind the clay alongside our specialists, Mario López and Carme Ayala.

The Art of the Wheel and Centering

In the pottery section, we will introduce you to throwing pieces on the wheel. The technical program is designed to master the craft from the ground up:

  • Wedging, preparing the clay, and correct body posture.

  • Techniques for centering the clay wedge and hand placement.

  • Creating fundamental shapes: plates, mugs, bowls, and cylinders.

  • Trimming, finishing, and the final glazing and firing process.

Hand-Building and Modeling Techniques

We will explore the essentials of creating without a pottery wheel, delving into methods that allow complete freedom of form for both utilitarian and sculptural pieces:

  • Modeling techniques: pinch pots, coils, and slab construction.

  • Handling of ceramic bodies, drying processes, and dry-stage repair.

  • Decorative resources: carving, textures, reliefs, inlays, and slips (engobes).

  • Introduction to glazes, firing schedules, and exploring artistic languages.
