They will explore form, balance, and voids, while considering how the clay piece will interact with an organic material after firing. The Luloba Céramique team will then handle the glazing, firing, and transportation of the piece to the second studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour weeks later, the group will reconvene at the \u003cstrong\u003eSaule et Garance\u003c\/strong\u003e studio, just a few doors down from the pottery studio. This second session will be guided by Laurence Thiffault, the basket maker behind the brand Sweet Mama Grass. She will introduce you to working with willow and other natural materials in order to create a basketry addition integrated directly into the ceramic piece. Participants will discover how flexible, natural plant materials can extend, soften, or contrast with the solidity of the clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop offers a true dialogue between disciplines and an immersion into mixed media, where clay hand-building meets plant weaving. At the intersection of the functional and the sculptural, participants will leave with one or two unique pieces and a new understanding of the possibilities offered by crossing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo prior experience in ceramics or basketry is required, just curiosity and a desire to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e__________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFor adults 18 and older\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum 8 participants, minimum 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCourse taught in French\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTools and Materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePottery class: all tools and materials are provided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBasketry class: you will need sharp pruning shears, an Opinel-style pocket knife, and a pair of scissors.
