Observing and following our impulses, attracted by the most incredible details that nature offers us, awakens our creativity, our natural sense of harmony and aesthetics. Free of prejudices and expectations, we create our pieces being an integral part of nature. When walking through the mountains we seek not only inspiration, but also textures, tools and materials. Back to the studio we will investigate and test to select the raw material for the objects we want to create. In this course we will learn to look further to know the characteristics of our raw materials, nature and in all the ceramic process until the firing. Participants have the opportunity to create their own collection of ceramic objects inspired by learning and the days of immersion in nature.

Organization

ADXTUR | Schist Villages

The Aldeias do Xisto Network is a regional sustainable development initiative led by ADXTUR, in partnership with 21 Municipalities of the Centro Region and more than 100 private operators. ADXTUR’s mission is to generate territorial attractiveness, stimulating a social and territorial sustainable and integrated development with nature and places.

Aldeias do Xisto aims to reinvent the culture of places with their inhabitants to create social and economic value in these territories. We invoke the memory of solidary of the rural and genuine community spirit to dare to do and experiment differently, based on our resources and opening the door to new thoughts and settlers.

Finding opportunities to face the vicious cycle of economic and social decline that most rural areas are facing today requires a renewed look at problems, exploring less traveled paths. Aldeias do Xisto has been building a living laboratory, inviting residents in these territories to create and experiment, and to create centres of transformation in the social fabric that are capable of germinating new ways of doing and being.
