This course provides students with foundational knowledge of the ceramic transformation process and the tools needed to realize a personal project. Forming, surface treatments, and techniques such as building with coiling and plaques, as well as stamping, will be covered. Students will also explore surface techniques such as glazing, inlay, and ceramic laser printing, as well as the use of kilns to achieve a certain level of autonomy in their work.
The course will alternate between theoretical inputs, visits, and practical exercises.
At the end of the semester, each student will present or display a work in alignment with their personal research.
This course includes a visit to the Musée Ariana and the Fondation Baur.
