In this course Lola Giardino, founder of NonaBruna, will show you the possibilities offered by ceramics and the techniques to work it, so that you can shape your ideas and create with your hands any creative piece that you can think of.

You will learn other ways to use ceramics creatively and while you design and shape your own creations. Lola will teach you a breakfast set, but the possibilities are endless when it comes to working with ceramics, the only limitation when choosing the final piece is your own imagination.

Description

Basic techniques for creating unique and creative pieces of ceramic

In the first place, you will discover why Lola, as a designer, decided to incorporate ceramics into her life and how she takes advantage of all the possibilities that this material offers her. You will also know their influences and what their sources of inspiration are.

You will learn to work with ceramics, what are the different types of clay that you can use to create your own breakfast set (or any other creative piece that you want to materialize) and all the materials and tools you need.

Lola will teach you the 3 basic techniques for the creation of a piece: pinch, churros and plates; and will show you some examples of pieces made with these techniques so you can choose the one you prefer.

You will see Lola create a cup-character with the technique "pinch" and a plate-hat using the technique "plate", incorporating prints. You can choose the technique that you like most to create your pieces. You will see how it is painted with pigmented mud and how to make colored slips to paint the pieces.

Finally, Lola will show you other applications: decorations, prints, fabrics, leaves, textures ... How to make figurines, letters, posters, draw drawings, etc. so that you know thoroughly the possibilities of ceramics and you can unleash your creativity.
