Ceramics course
This type of interaction is suitable if ceramics attracts you on a deeper level than a one-time event.
Do you want to make your first items for sale, give gifts to your family, or are you looking for a new hobby?
I highly recommend understanding the basics of ceramic craft. Why do I think this is a great opportunity?
Well, first of all, at the moment there are no other places in Riga where you can dive deeper into the entire manufacturing process.
You will try different materials for modeling, and slip casting. We will learn the basics of various techniques, try different paints and glazes.
I will save you money and nerves by sharing with you the mistakes I have made and what I have learned, telling you about observations and conclusions about the compatibility of different materials in combination with different glazes.
I will share with you tips and tricks that will help minimize the percentage of defects, so that the result pleases you more often.
What you will learn:
9 meetings (we will try to fit them in one month)
12 products made with your own hands
useful cheat sheet from me
~35 hours in the workshop
a gift with a few tools that will definitely come in handy
after the training we will keep in touch and I will support you in your endeavors
I will give you the opportunity to rent my kiln to fire your pieces, as you will have learned how to glaze from me
Price: 550€ (can be divided into two payments, before the start of the course and in the middle of it).
Training takes place in a small group of two students
