Sometimes the best results emerge when we are relaxed and enjoying the process without the weight of expectation; it is in these moments of spontaneity that we discover novel <strong>shapes and forms<\/strong> that breathe life into our work.<\/p>\n<p>We start at the wheel, <strong>throwing<\/strong> a variety of forms then work to put them together to create interesting shapes, sometimes functional, sometimes purely decorative. In the <strong>process<\/strong> we will learn not only new forms of <strong>construction<\/strong>, but also how to hone your eye for composition,.<\/p>\n<p>Day one: I will talk about composition, give a demonstration on construction, then you will throw a variety of simple forms.<\/p>\n<p>Day 2: trimming, experimenting and playing with how to put the pieces together to create a dynamic composition.<\/p>\n<p>Day 3: the finishing touches<\/p>\n<p>This masterclass takes place during &#8216;The Great Ceramics Summer Event&#8217; in Duffel, Belgium We work outdoors under a luxurious stretch tent while enjoying the beautiful green surroundings We also have lunch outdoors.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from F.I.T, but also graduated from culinary school. I was a cake decorator for 11 years, combining my food and art background to create sugar sculptures for parties around the world. In London I had a specialty cookie business, but it was in Krakow, Poland that I discovered ceramics. I began studying with a potter there, then moved to Venice, Italy where I opened my studio LAM Ceramica. Over the last 10 years I have been working exclusively in ceramics and my work can be found in stores in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Warsaw, London, Berlin, Venice, Monza, Glasgow, and Zagreb.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div dir=\"ltr\" data-setdir=\"false\">\n<div class=\"Qr7Oae\" role=\"listitem\">\n<div class=\"OxAavc NVbRL\" data-required=\"true\" data-item-id=\"661634608\">\n<div class=\"xMZTse Ih4Dzb\">\n<div class=\"Mh5jwe JqSWld yqQS1\" aria-describedby=\"c358\"><strong><em>Joyful Experimentation: Exploring new construction forms and refining composition skills<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Qr7Oae\" role=\"listitem\">\n<div class=\"OxAavc NVbRL\" data-required=\"true\" data-item-id=\"78174580\">\n<div class=\"pYfr3c\">\n<div class=\"prOLdf\">\n<div class=\"g53bl\">\n<div class=\"cTDvob D1wxyf RjsPE\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\" aria-describedby=\"i.desc.78174580 c365\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In this three-day workshop, Mich\u00e8le Hickey will challenge you to experiment with twisted shapes.
