A ten-week foundation course in ceramics led by potter Manuel Canu, who has years of experience with sculptural ceramics and has exhibited internationally. The course is project-based: you work on complete pieces such as bowls, vases, sculptures and decorative objects, using coiling, slab building, press moulding and kurinuki.
Each session starts from a concrete project, with objects, images and visual references to help you develop your own ideas and personal visual language. You are guided from sketch and construction through to glazing and firing. The course suits both beginners and those with experience, and the pace is adjusted to each participant. Anyone who has taken a Manuel Canu course before can build on what they already know. Sustainable working habits, such as focusing on quality and reflecting on material and energy use, are part of the course.
