Sculpture workshop

About Shape

From Feeling to Shaping

With Clio Makri

October 25-27 2014

in Aegina

The purpose of this workshop is to gradually get acquainted with the material, that is clay, its potentialities (possibilities), as well as with the fundamental concepts of sculpture, e.g. three-dimensionality, relationship to space. We will study and try to understand what shape is, proceeding from two-dimensional to three-dimensional space, paying special attention clay itself and its relationship to space.

We shall try to look at our surroundings in a different way, aiming to discover, observe (distances, proportions, stimuli) and finally relate to the material.

We shall try to gradually entre into a creative process by means of the clay: from discovery and feeling to relationship with the other and with space and finally to communicate with the material.

Clio Makri was born in Budapest and lived in Paris before settling down in Athens. She studied sculpture and mosaics at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris.
