 Using
the Dead Sea and the Negev as a conceptual
surrounding you will explore your artistic heritage through
the making of ancient ceramics and sculpture (ornamental
or votive). You will visit the hidden meanings found in
ancient alphabet graphics.
For the making of ceramics you will mix clay with
local sands and fire our pieces in a pit fire. The beauty
of pit firing is how it yields remarkably colorful
effects made by the dancing flames on the unglazed clay
and by oxidation of the Dead Sea salts.
Following the traditions of the Old World's great civilizations'
work in metal, you will experience making sculpture
using the traditional sand technique more than
6000 years old. |
