ABOUT TORTUS:

WHAT YOU LEARN
This workshop is an invitation to reconnect with the body through ceramic gesture. Two engaging and immersive days will focus on movement, posture, and fluidity of gesture—key elements for working clay in a more conscious, natural, and harmonious way.
Through practical exercises and observation, participants will learn to handle larger amounts of clay with less effort, discovering how the body’s energy can flow into the material without tension, yet with respect and lightness.
It will also be a precious opportunity to meet an internationally recognized master whose work has inspired a new generation of ceramists worldwide. This experience combines technique and sensitivity, designed for those who wish to deepen their physical and emotional relationship with clay, allowing the body to become an instrument of expression and dialogue with the material.
