Cerâmica em Movimento - Caminhos de Barro
(Ceramics in Motion - Clay paths)
Event
“Ceramics in Motion” is a creative journey that guides participants from raw materials to artistic production, exploring ceramics in connection with other forms of expression. Over the course of 12 days, the studio becomes a laboratory open to the experimentation of materials and multidisciplinary concepts. Led by Bruna Freitas, resident artist at the Centro de Artes e Ofícios dos Fornos da Cruz de Pedra, participants are challenged to use clay as a starting point for an exploratory, creative, and innovative process.
