CERAMIC MAZE: THE GLAZES | Vilma Bosi
How much water should be added when preparing the glaze? How should you proceed to make a good application? In this course we want to introduce you to glazing ceramic artefacts by providing some basic specific skills. We will start with the knowledge of the products (Glazes, Transparent glazes, Colours, etc.) and their peculiarities, we will begin with how to proceed in their preparation and we will end with the opportunity to try out the main glazing techniques and a guide to ceramic firing. In particular, we will deal with application by immersion, spraying with an airbrush and brush glazing with the aid of special vehicles that allow for better application. We will present the necessary steps to obtain effects in the coatings also with applications in several layers that will be made on clay supports, already fired, provided by the organisation.

LOW-TEMPERATURE GLAZES, CHEMISTRY AND FORMULATIONS | Claudio Gardenghi
In this particular course, you will learn how to formulate or modify the aesthetics of lowtemperature glazes. Low-temperature ceramic objects often need a "cover". which is called a glaze, required to make the ceramic object water-resistant and aesthetically conform to what is desired. What is needed to make a glaze? What frits and raw materials to combine to make it? How to modify a ready-made glaze? And how to proceed from test to test to achieve the desired effect? The teacher Claudio Gardenghi, an expert with over forty years of experience in some of the most important ceramic colour factories, will introduce participants to the world of lowtemperature glazes, also giving space for some personal research. In fact, thanks to the small number of participants, it will be possible both to work on bases provided by the organisation and to analyse, replicate or correct glazes deriving from participants' own research ("as long as they are suitable for low temperature"). All results will then be presented and shared with the class.
Claudio Gardenghi Graduated in Technological Education at the Art Institute for Ceramics 'G. Ballardini' in Faenza. During his working activity, he has developed collaborations with several Ceramic Colour Factories, including Colorobbia and Cover, as well as important ceramic industries such as Cooperativa Ceramica di Imola, La Faenza and Cerdomus. Over the years, he has been able to expand his experience in countless consulting assignments in different countries around the world )Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, China, South Africa and Iran.

SWEET RAKU WITH LUSTRES | Giovanni Cimatti
Sweet Raku is an idea that Giovanni Cimatti came up with in the late 1990s and which differs from so-called Raku in that it has reduced fumigation and the use of chamotte-free clays.
Giovanni Cimatti's sweet raku in some of its declinations. During the course, forms will be made that simultaneously and in a single firing will have the orange colour of 'sealed earths', the transparencies of copper and non-copper crystallines, the lustres in copper reduction in gas kiln firing and the black of Raku smoke.

MY FUNNY GLAZES | Maite Larena
When we approach ceramic glazes, the first impression is of immensity ... where do I start? What are the raw materials? Which glazes will fit my pieces? The development of custom glazes is particularly attractive to most potters. In this course, following a simple methodology, working methods will be taught to plan the development of glazes and obtain a large quantity of them. In this way we will expand the development of colouring, textures, applications and aesthetic results applicable to the author's ceramics. A laboratory for testing ceramic glazes for 1240-60 ° C is proposed, both for firing in an electric kiln and in a gas kiln. An extensive documentation will be provided, which will be examined in presentations and theoretical speeches interspersed with the work of the workshop, as well as computerized archiving systems for ceramic recipes.

BLACK CERAMIC, CLAY OF ETRURIA | Gabriele Tognoloni
Bucchero is a type of fine and very light black ceramic produced by the Etruscans to make vases. The integral black monochrome is the most striking feature of this type of pottery and the colouring is achieved by a special firing process. Bucchero was used in Etruria from the mid 7th century BC to the first half of the 5th century BC.
Gabriele Tognoloni Born in Gubbio in 1973 and graduated in Sculpture from the 'Pietro Vannucci' Academy of Fine Arts. He leads Unico, in the city of Gubbio, an atelier and gallery where his artistic experience takes shape in ceramics that reveal not only their link with local artistic craft traditions and the genius loci, but also with the direct and indirect input received from some of the most important personalities of Italian and international visual research, reinterpreting these suggestions according to his own highly personal and immediately recognisable language. Many art critics have written about his work, including Italo Tomassoni, Aldo Iori and Antonio Carlo Ponti. Recent exhibitions include one-man shows at the Galleria "lalineaartecontemporanea" in Rome (2016) and at the Centro per l'Arte Contemporanea "La Rocca" in Umbertide (2020), the group show "origine/presente" at Atelier Schwab in Wertheim, Germany (2018), an artistic residency at Atelier A in Apricale (2018), the "Progetto Italia" in collaboration with the artist Alberto Gianfreda at Casa Testori in Milan (2021) and the "Grand tour Limonaia".

CREATIVE MOLDING TECHNIQUE | Simon Zsolt József
The aim of the course is to understand the opportunities to model the forms inherent in molding errors. We will learn how to prepare a multi-part plaster molding form, which allows us to model the internal and external shapes of the final object.
The artist will make a presentation of his works, which will allow to observe and understand this special molding procedure. The second half of the screening will demonstrate the creation of a specific object from the beginning to the final stage.
Participants will start working on one of Zsolt's floral objects, through an individual consultation, and later, they will create a different shape, allowing learning from each other's work. From the preparation of the plaster, the finishing, sawing, sanding and assembly of the plaster form will follow until the porcelain casting.
It will be possible to choose between two different techniques: - FLORAL (the organisation will provide 2 plaster cylinders with a diameter of 19 cm); - VASE TYPE (the organisation will provide two plaster cylinders with a diameter of 19 cm and two with a diameter of 12 cm). The technique chosen must be communicated to the Faenza Art Ceramic Center at the time of the registration.
Simon Zsolt József Simon Zsolt József studied at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest. He is an all-round artist, interested in ceramics, painting, theater and music. The study of movement is the basis of his work. His particular research is concentrated in the process through the molds or modules that give birth to a particular shape, not the programmed one. It uses porcelain for its quality of fragility which grants a sense of lightness, movement and refinement.

PORCELAIN WAVES | Mette Maya
The workshop explores the use of organic shaped structures in ceramics inspired by nature and architecture. During the workshop delicate structures will be made using bamboo curtains and string.
Afterwards several layers of soft paperclay will then be applied on the bamboo structure to create textured porcelain waves. The bamboo will burn during firing, making possible many creative possibilities through the addition, combination and modification of shapes. These bamboo structures will also be the basis for making plaster moulds to explore movement in clay.
Finally, a selection of the works produced will be glazed with engobes and oxides that will allow for very interesting colour effects in the final firing.
Mette Maya Mette Maya Gregersen holds a BA in ceramics from the Camberwell College of Arts ad a MA in Art Psychotherapy from Sheffield University. She has travelled extensively and has been invited to ceramic residencies in the UK, Hungary and China. Her work is an investigation into her own emotional condition as well as into social identity and a connection between thought, hands and space. She has exhibited internationally, hold lectures and taught many workshops. She is a member of the International Academy of Ceramics, the Danish Association of Art and Design and the Dirty Go Clay Band.

Sara Dario He graduated from Venice Art School and graduated in Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. During his academic studies, he became interested in photography and printing techniques, not only traditional ones such as black and white and colour, but above all unconventional ones such as photogravure and photo serigraphy, printing on various materials and supports. His aesthetic quest is to combine sculpture and photography and thus give his images a body.
