Also in this 2021 the civic museum of Palazzo
Traversa di Bra organizes a course on clay processing at its
headquarters in via Serra. There are 10 lessons of two hours each
scheduled on Monday afternoon from 17.30 to 19.30 in the period between
27 September and 6 December.
The course is intended for a small
group (6 people maximum) to allow teachers to follow each participant
individually. The lessons aim to provide the fundamental theoretical and
practical knowledge on the handling of clay, from the design of an
artifact to its realization, using the main techniques of manual
construction: the slab, the colombino and the thumb technique.
Furthermore, in the second phase of the course, the basic notions on
decorative techniques with engobes will be provided.
The cost of
participation is 120 euros and registration includes materials: clay,
tools for processing, colored and crystalline engobes. The costs for
cooking the artifacts will instead be an extra. Registration by 20
September via an email to traversa@comune.bra.cn.it. To participate in
the course it is necessary to have a green pass or to show proof of
recovery from Sars-CoV-2 infection not earlier than 6 months, proof of
carrying out a rapid molecular or antigenic test with a negative result
