Friends, I invite you to my author's pottery marathons!
Thanks to hundreds of hours of practice and careful study of mistakes, I have created my own pottery technique and method of quick learning. The mastery that many ceramicists take years to achieve will be available to you at the end of the programme.
The training takes place in small groups near the Polenov Estate in an all-inclusive format and lasts 8 days. You fully concentrate on creativity and learning, and all basic household issues will be solved by me in advance. We meet in Moscow near the metro station Annino and on the organised transfer we go towards new knowledge and pleasant acquaintances, return transfer to Moscow also to Annino. The price includes accommodation in cosy cottages near the pottery workshop (double and single accommodation options are available), as well as three meals a day from the guest chef.
The village is located in a quiet and picturesque place, which disposes to new creative discoveries and, of course, we will certainly visit the estate of the artist V. D. Polenov. The training schedule is quite intensive, but I tried to keep a balance and left enough free time to be able to relax in the circle of like-minded people, share experiences and enjoy the beauty around. Many students after the marathons continue to maintain a friendly and professional connection not only with me, but also with each other, which I consider a great advantage of my format, close to a creative association.
And of course, I can't leave you without a celebration! On the first day we get to know each other over a delicious dinner with wine by candlelight and finish the training in the same way, with long conversations and lots of impressions.
