Pottery master-class

Art-studio "Lihtaryk" invites you to our pottery master-class.

Pottery is not about speed and high performance. This ancient artistry is the repose of your soul via hands! Pottery is a way to get acquainted with a traditional craft of your ancestors, to plunge into a romantic adventure and to create something really precious with your own hands.

People of intellectual professions often face a situation when they do not see the palpable material component of their work, i.e. something that can be felt physically. By using your fantasy and intellectual potential for producing crockery not only will you be able to enjoy the process of creation but also you will recall this wonderful sensation daily while using the things made with your own hands in your household.

Easy-going and creative atmosphere always reigns in our Art Studio. A qualified potter will reveal the master secrets of this craft to you teaching how to use a special instrument – a pottery wheel.  With the expert’s help you will be able to turn an ordinary piece of clay into a unique creation with your own hands, to mold/ sculpt the crockery of incredible beauty decorating it with incising (drawing patterns on raw clay with a stylus) or paint it with special clay-based paints called engobes.

Pottery is one of the most ancient crafts in the world. In the age-old mythology the first beliefs of the mankind about their origin were attributed to clay. Pottery is crafting ceramic plates, mugs, bowls, jugs, dinnerware sets, decorations and toys with the help of a pottery wheel or without it.

The master-class curriculum presumes producing two items of clay, while work during the class is conducted with practical advice and under the watchful eye of our master.
