Join us for a 3-hour ceramic and porcelain workshop led by the artist Cathy Deprez in December! Whether you’re fascinated by abstract designs or inspired by nature, this workshop is perfect for you. Under Cathy’s expert guidance, you’ll craft a unique piece of jewelry to take home. Cathy will provide you with two creative concepts to choose from, ensuring that your creation is both beautiful and achievable within the session. Unleash your creativity and discover the art of jewelry making in a supportive and inspiring environment!

It’s an ideal moment to unwind, focus on your creative side, and enjoy the following benefits:

– The tactile nature of ceramics provides a unique sensory experience that can alleviate stress and help you unwind. The simple pleasure of moulding clay into a desired shape can be incredibly therapeutic, allowing you to temporarily disconnect from the information overload and endless tasks of daily life. Just a few hours of working with ceramics can rejuvenate and recharge your mental state.

– Sometimes, words fall short when it comes to conveying our emotions and experiences. Ceramics offers an alternative form of expression that goes beyond verbal communication, providing an invaluable medium for self-discovery and emotional exploration.

– There’s a special satisfaction that comes from creating something from start to finish, especially when it serves a purpose or enhances your surroundings. This creative process can boost your happiness and self-confidence, instilling a sense of pride in your achievements.

– The creative process of ceramics can have a profound impact on your overall happiness and self-esteem. As you explore and experiment with different techniques and styles, you’ll find yourself growing not only as an artist but also as an individual.

– One of the major benefits of attending ceramics classes is the opportunity to forge new friendships within a supportive and like-minded community. As both a student and teacher, I can attest to the strong sense of camaraderie that exists within the world of ceramics, making it a truly enriching and nurturing environment for personal growth.

So why not give ceramics a try and experience the mental health benefits firsthand? You may be surprised at just how transformative this creative outlet can be.

Details of the workshops

• 18/1 11am-2pm : Vase Creation using the coil technique

• 8/2 11am-2pm: : Pitcher creation and decoration

• 8/3 11am-2pm: Sculpturing, inspiration by the famous Luxembourgish sculptor, Lucien Wercollier

From a fascination with Aristide Maillol, his interest then turns to the more radical abstraction of masters such as Constantin Brâncuși and Jean Arp, a style he fully adopts between 1952 and 1955. Like his models, Wercollier favors natural materials and monumental dimensions. He sculpts and shapes not only wood but also stone, bronze, marble, alabaster, and onyx.
