Synopsis
In this Laboratory we will give a brief introduction to Ceramics, a form of expression as primitive as it is contemporary, exploring the way it has accompanied the history of Humanity and showing the particularities of its aesthetics.
At a time when our hands are rapidly becoming virtual world controls and we no longer recognise in them the potential and ability to give three-dimensional form to our thoughts and emotions, contact with clay is even more important because it revives the ability to materialise things, to create using only a basic dexterity regulated by simple principles.
