Kaolin, international “art, design and contemporary ceramics” post graduate course

This high level training belongs within the international context of the globalization of artistic and inter cultural exchanges between Europe and Asia, through the two major spaces of porcelain production of Limoges and Jingdezhen (China). Under the direction of Michel Gouéry, invited artist of international renown, this postgraduate course is open, by way of exam, to 4 creators, DNSEP or Master 2 level graduates or their professional equivalent.
This one year programme proposes a strong individual and collective experience, founded on the acquisition of knowledge and the sharing of skills; allowing one to forge a ceramics culture in the specific field of porcelain and to elaborate an ambitious research project linked with the ENSA’s artistic and professional networks in France and abroad. To operate their research, artists benefit from a collective space and have access to the school’s range of pedagogical and technical resources.
For each session, the selected candidates define, in collaboration with the guest artist, the expectations and modalities of their research programme. They specify the rhythm, organization and objectives.
The ENSA covers expenses linked to production and distribution of projects, accommodation and travel fees in France and abroad.

Collection of digital publications for the publication of study days in collaboration with Naima (www.naimaeditions.com).

Study days, workshops, conferences, seminars, exhibitions (free and open to the public)

Public classes for children, teenagers and adults.

The international strategy of the ENSA is based on the principle of exchange of practices and artistic and pedagogical intelligence with international partners in the domains of art and technology, in particular in the field of ceramics: student and teacher mobility in the context of the Erasmus programme and organization of communal workshops in France and abroad.
