BASIC FACE SCULPTING | Victor Fotso Nyie
This course offers participants the opportunity to understand the complexity of the human face and to acquire the basics of modelling the individual elements that compose it. Participants will study the proportions and differences between faces and try to transfer expressions, emotions and vitality onto them. The aim will be to give voice to inner psychological states in order to visually create narrative nuances. Victor Fotso Nyie will accompany participants along this path, sharing with them his particular working method, which involves sculpting a block of clay that is then cut, emptied and reassembled while maintaining a thickness of 1-2 cm.
The 49-hour workshop starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. from Monday to Sunday.

THE MAGIC OF COLORS IN TRANSLUCENT PORCELAIN | Martha Pachon
Transparency is one of the most important qualities of porcelain and usually requires a prolonged, precise and very accurate processing to obtain a piece of exquisite beauty highlighted by translucency. The evocative techniques presented in this course will have an important role in the creative process for those who want to build and draw with the light and color in porcelain.
We will use the slip porcelain with and without the use of molds. And above all, the participants will be able to dominate the most important aspects of the porcelain of great thinness: the drying, the impediment of the deformation and the firing.
The 20-hour workshop lasts from 9.00 to 17.00 on Friday and Saturday and from 9.00 to 16.00 on Sunday.
