Keramikworkshop - Ceramicworkshop
So this week I participated in a ceramics workshop. Those of you who know me well, know that I haven't really played with clay since middel school, so it was very interesting to see how it would go. Our instructor were a woman called Katrin who were visiting Greenland for the first time. She lives in Island and in Reykjavik she has a ceramic cooperative with eight other ceramists called Kaolin Keramik Galleri . She is very talented and skilled in the art of smokefireing. The goal for the ceramics workshop wasn't to make ordinary clay work with glazing but instead to work with the ancient glazing method called Terra Sigallata which consists og different types of clay each mixed with water and a deflocculent, which gave a thin clay based paint which we used to paint our pieces. The first two days of the workshop we created the pieces which we one day three painted on, with the Terra. I created two small pots, a small plate, a little round container and two mushrooms. This
