One of the things that I most enjoy is holding workshops where I teach my favorite painting techniques on ceramic pieces. These workshops are a wonderful opportunity to connect with other people I share in the world of art. We work together, experimenting with different methods and materials, from the preparation of ceramic surfaces to the final application of inks. What excites me most is seeing how each participant contributes with their style and vision, creating unique pieces, cheias de vida e cor. Answering two more students has been incredibly rewarding. Seeing happiness and pride on their faces as they finish a piece is one of the greatest rewards of learning. Your successes inspire me to continue looking for new techniques and challenges to share with you. These workshops not only allow me to transmit my knowledge, but also enrich me on a personal and artistic level. Each session is a change of ideas and experiences that helps me grow and evolve in my own work. It is a mutual learning space, where we all contribute and learn something new. The magic of learning to teach has been one of the greatest revelations of this path. Discovering how each person interprets and applies the techniques I share gives me a new perspective on art. Teaching is not just transmitting knowledge, but inspiring and being inspired, creating an environment where we can all explore our creativity together. I believe that this allows us to see art from multiple perspectives. Each student traces a story, a way of seeing the world, and this enriches the learning process. It's not just about them learning from me, but also about how much I learn from them. This interaction creates a constant flow of inspiration and creativity that nourishes my own artistic practice. I am grateful for the opportunity to feel free and fluid in this environment that I enjoy so much. It is a privilege to be able to share my landscape and see the flowers with other people. This day is deeply enriching and I am excited about what the future holds for us.
