This workshop is aimed at experienced turners who are already confident working on the potter's wheel and can produce cylinders of at least 15-20 cm in height. Under the expert guidance of the internationally renowned ceramic artist Karin Bablok, an intensive work process is created around the turning, tapping, cutting and mounting of porcelain forms. On Friday, we start by turning the cylinders and preparing the bases for the vessels. On Saturday, we shape them with the help of wood, cut them open and reassemble them. On Sunday, we finish them in a leather-hard state - with precision, concentration and a feel for the material and shape. A little theory is included, but the focus is still on the action, the concentrated work with the white gold and the joy of the form.
What you can expect:
Turning porcelain cylinders as a starting form
Tapping, cutting, shaping and assembling
Precise finish in the leather-hard state
Professional instruction from Karin Bablok
