Ceramic Sculpture and Wood Firing Course
27 Sep. 2020
Cerdeira Home For Creativity, Lousã
… from September 27 to October 5, with Renato Costa e Silva & Kerstin Thomas
Renato Costa e Silva is a researcher and storyteller, his sculpture tells us about it. If on the one hand they are the result of a methodical process of conception that goes through drawings and models, the preparation of the raw material until the most exact execution, preserves and cultivates, on the other hand, a spontaneity in the process of modeling and a willingness to experiment that culminates in the delivery of the pieces to the action of fire. Carried out in prepared and optimized folders for each new work, the pieces in stoneware or porcelain approach his vision of the world, and let emerge a deep understanding of the human being, full of humor and affection.
Together with Kerstin Thomas, he will support each student to progress and take home objects and small sculptures that reflect not only the learning done but also the personal expression of each one.
