20-24 Juli: Throwing Technique and Structured Surfaces with José Mariscal

In this extra-long workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from the wonderfully charming, endlessly patient, and highly experienced teacher José Mariscal. His technique is very different from what we are accustomed to, but once you grasp the ‘ins and outs’, you’ll throw more easily and efficiently than ever before.

On top of that, José will demonstrate various finishing techniques to bring more texture and variety to your work.

This masterclass takes place during ‘The Great Ceramics Summer Event’ in Duffel, Belgium We work outdoors under a luxurious stretch tent while enjoying the beautiful green surroundings. We also have lunch outdoors. During summer event, there are still numerous activities and workshops. You can find the shedule here Included in the price:

Your teacher :

From a family of potters José learns throwing from very young.
We can say that Jose Maria Mariscal has learned from his father, he has lived pottery since childhood but has researched on his own to discover the world of crystalline glazes, raku and so on. From an early age began working in a pottery studio in La Bisbal de Empordá and passed from one studio to another. Then, in May 2003 opened his own studio.
