Projectorium Botanicum: Hand-Building Workshop – Clay Irrigation Ollas

I am delighted to invite you to the meeting of the Projectorium Botanicum series—a project born from my passion for ceramics and a deep love for plants. My studio, located right next to the park, and its integrated garden have been my sanctuary for years. It is here that I took my first steps in gardening and learned to listen to the rhythm of nature. This garden has become my greatest source of inspiration, and now I want to share that space with you.

Our first workshop is dedicated to irrigation vessels, known for millennia as ollas. They are the simplest, yet most brilliant, eco-friendly way to maintain optimal soil moisture—both for your indoor houseplants and your garden beds.

• Learn hand-building techniques: You will master how to model shapes that are functional, durable, and beautiful.
• Discover the magic of Ollas: Once fired and buried in the soil, these vessels slowly “sweat,” releasing water directly to the plant roots exactly when they need it.
• Design for your needs: We will create smaller forms for indoor pots or larger one perfect for raised beds or balcony boxes.

The workshop takes place in my studio, where the garden and the proximity of the park create a soothing atmosphere, perfect for creative flow.
