In November
all the MLC volunteers attended a ceramic workshop at Piecownia (Wroclaw), in
the scope of a workshop called Mozaika Nadodrza.
Our heroes were demanded to
realize a small, cute, colored tile, starting from raw clay and resorting on
their genius.
By the beginning,
the first troubles started appearing. Giving it the correct shape, an
appropriate design, the right thickness is not so easy as you (and many of us)
think.
Some of us
showed marked artistic skills, others less and others again had no skills at
all to show. Luckily, the workshop staff helped us whenever we needed so, eventually,
each of us got his own tile.
The following
step requested us to decorate the tiles, according to our personal tastes. That
was the turning point: the most gifted ones soared on the wings of art while
the others tumbled down in the banality of random words or sketched drawings. This
merciless humiliation marked the end of the
first phase of the workshop.
Some volunteers having fun before getting aware how hard the life can be.
The second
and final one took place some weeks later. That time, the MLC group had to
complete the work, by painting their tiles.
Again, the difference
between the artist-born and the ordinary mortals was noticeable. I suppose
there’s no need to underline how difficult can be spread the right colors, with
the right dose, in the right place for someone that can hardly hold a brush up.
Isn’t?!
Right shape, right layout, right colors, right
message: approved!
Crooked, No idea about proportions and details distribution, colors
randomly chosen and roughly spread: he is likely to be blind, have mercy.
On the 18, December
2015 the masterpieces will be revealed to the World. If you want to give a look,
just go to the cross between Paulińska and Ryoygiera. We wait for you!!!!
