Our ceramics workshop in Limassol, Cyprus, is offering private and group workshops under the guidance of professional ceramist Ewelina Birut-Hadjimanolis (BA + MA Ceramic Art & Design at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw). Our classes are designed for both beginners and advanced with a flexible timetable focusing on the following:
slab building / coil building / pinching / potter’s wheel / glazing / decoration with engobes and oxides / enameling with gold
The aim of the workshop is to encourage the participants, working under the guidelines of well designed lesson plans and at the same time focusing on a personal approach for each and every one, to create their own homeware such as plates, cups, bowls, tea – pots, as well as any other type of decorative or artistic objects.
The need for engaging with handcrafts seems to be more and more in demand in our times, as a positive reaction against industrilized products, consumerism and sedentary lifestyle. Through the course of this workshop, we focus on the awakening of the creative impulse and at the same time the development of skills, to achieve a creative and positive state of mind within a calm and homely environment.
