Ceramic workshop with the SAFAA students conducted by Ana Esteve
On March 18-22, 2024, Ana Llorens Esteve, professor of ceramics at La Escola d’ArtiSuperior de Disseny de Castello (EASD), Spain was hosted at the SAFAA. Firstly, Anna Esteve made a presentation on the school she represented and further passed particularly to the introduction of her chair and the activities it carried out.
She also spoke about the ceramic fair that gathered together a range of specialists in the field from different parts of the country and was accompanied by a very artistic atmosphere and treatment. It’s like a real festive period and a holiday for both the locals and guests.
The 2nd part of her visit was more practical: Ms. Esteve held a workshop gathering the students of the ceramics department and introduced a traditional Spanish technique of ceramics later on the students passed to creating their samples by applying the newly introduced and explained technique. The visit of the guests was concluded by a roundtable discussion and treatment by the initiative and direct participation of the applied arts chair, its teachers and students.
Anna Esteve and her husband, who was present everywhere throughout the visit and recorded everything that happened, admitted that they knew very little about Armenians and Armenia before coming here, but after this visit, they will look forward to the next opportunity to visit Armenia againand to rediscover it.
At the end of their visit the guests were very impressed not only by the activities of the applied art chair of the State Academy of Fine Arts and the students’ works, but also by Armenia, because during that short visit they also managed to visit some sights nearby Yerevan.
We express our thanks to the professors and students of the Applied Arts Chair of the State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia for their active participation.
