The curriculum of the school is formulating in an untraditional way: teachers try to present new approaches to create ceramics. The new procedures aim to discover new media and wais of expression.
We use various ceramic materials such as porcelain, stoneware, refractory clay, engobes, slip glazes, metal oxides, pigments. We also work with the baking process of ceramics, thus creating a wider space for artistic expression. Our students can also learn how to apply the skills they have acquired to create their own new concepts and innovations and implement them. The professional experience of our teachers is based on their relevant expertise in the art of ceramics.
Teachers master several creation techniques, they can spin on the ceramic wheel as well as create models they need to make plastic molds. They manage the complex problems to create and use plastic molds, they can select the appropriate material for a specific application, and they adjust this material according to their needs.
Our teachers know how they should make their own ceramic materials to meet their needs, the technological requirements and their desires. They use local materials and other materials available in the region. They are also able to maintain cooking in wood kilns and to use the unique derivative effects of this type of cooking.
Moreover our teachers are able to deal with a variety of decorative techniques that are largely their own works. The school area is in a region where the ceramics have been produced since immemorial time, due to the abundant presence of several ceramic clays.
Nowadays we combine raw ceramic materials (refractory clay, stoneware) with fine materials (porcelain, fine stoneware); the manufactured products are then decorated with self-made pigments; the cooking take place in a wood oven, which has also been built by ourselves.
