Immerse yourself in the world of ceramics alongside Brad or ClaudiaĀ from the Epsiloc team!
These passionate creators will be delighted to welcome you to this session dedicated to exploring the fascinating art of ceramics. They will first offer you a tour of the studio, as well as an introduction to the basics of ceramics: the raw materials, different moulding techniques, the importance of drying time, glazing concepts, and the double firing process.
Next, you will take your place for the first step of the workshop: preparing the clay. This is an essential moment where you will experience the power of stoneware and its endless possibilities for the first time!
Under Brad or Claudia's attentive guidance, you will proceed to shape a mug according to your desired design. The artisan will be there to assist you, provide advice, and answer any questions you may have.
You will also have the opportunity to decorate your creation with engobe, adding a touch of colour and, most importantly, your personal touch!
Once you have completed your piece, you will entrust it to Brad, who will take care of the drying, firing, and glazing processes. You will also arrange the details for collecting your finished piece directly with her (usually within a few days).
Finally, you will leave with the joy of having shared a timeless moment while creating an object that can now accompany you in your daily life!
