The workshops are suitable for beginners and intermediate participants who are interested in exploring various clay modeling techniques. Each session is led by BcA. Jakub Nakládal, an experienced instructor with many years of practice teaching ceramics courses for both adults and children. He gained his professional qualifications through studies in ceramics and sculpture in Uherské Hradiště and at the Faculty of Art of the University of Ostrava. Jakub Nakládal’s artistic work is characterized by a realistic approach to modeling, mold casting, wheel throwing, and the use of freehand drawing in decoration. In his courses, he enjoys discussing participants’ ideas and helping them develop and refine their creative intentions.
