Study visit in Italy
Towards the end of June, we fulfilled our Italian partner’s invitation with a Greek group consisted of thirteen members. The delegation of six students, a tutor and a leader made a study trip at La Meridiana organisation works in Certaldo. Besides the cultural programs related to the project, we had the opportunity to become acquainted with and try out several methods applied in ceramics, such as the terra sigillata, the most typical one among them. Using this technique, a common product was made, namely, a three-meter tall and thirty-centimetre diameter totem pole, on which the main motif is a twisting, cylinder-projected version of a well-known Etruscan statuette. As all leaders of the three groups presented, we could discuss our further duties in connection with the project.
