14 – 17 November 2019 ~ Sardinia

When we are creative, we create something. You can clot clay on the wall. But when is something sacred to you? When all the love has flowed into your own doing and you discover the beauty of this devotion. We have the honor to welcome two great clay artists for this workshop, Isabella Breda and Kenji Matsuki, who in every moment work in this devotion. Two masters of clay art who, in addition to technology, above all convey their love for the earth in every moment.

For whom is the workshop

Men, women, lay people, experts, architects, engineers, craftsmen, house builders, artists, nature lovers and generally for all people who are interested in circulatory systems and are interested in (construction) ecology. Max. 20 participants
