Ceramica și modelajul în educația non-formală și rolul lor în practica arhitecturii vernaculare
Ceramics and modeling in non-formal education and their role in the practice of vernacular architecture

Summary/Abstract: This study offers a view on the non-formal education tools applied to the field of ceramics and clay modeling, focused on their role in the perception of the vernacular architecture practices. By distinguishing non-formal education from the formal education system, we can approach a method of learning and of personal or collective development, suitable for acquiring the knowledge and practical skills necessary to work with both ceramic material and related technology, but also particularly useful in observing and studying the architectural vernacular heritage, and especially fitted for practical work in this field. We address the particular way in which traditional work techniques, some traced back to prehistoric times, can be studied, exercised, and mastered to develop certain existing aptitudes or to create practical skillsets, essential for the continuity of vernacular architecture and the connected activities. The individual evolution of the pupils / students during 5 years was researched, by observing the acquired skills and analyzing the artworks created under the guidance of the author.
