Purpose of the course: The course deepens knowledge of techniques of treatment of ceramic surfaces, especially regarding the application of specific textures and particular coatings. The knowledge gained allows for a more advanced view of the possibilities that ceramics offer in symbiosis with advanced technologies such as inkjet, 3D , laser.
What you will learn: The participant acquires specific knowledge on the most up-to-date technical advances for the treatment of ceramic surfaces, not only of the artisan type, but also with regard to industrial technologies that can be imported into the ceramic sector for daily use or for the purposes of furnishings surfaces.
Certification: Certificate of attendance and participation and the training booklet of the Centre for Ceramics Experimentation of Montelupo
