OUR PORCELAIN WORKSHOPS
Porcelain is a high-quality fine product that has a wide range of use in almost every angle of our lives as tablewares, decorative objects, wall and floor coverings, lighting equipments, insulation material, etc... Due to its food-safe and environment friendly kaolinite-based structure, porcelain is always preferred, especially in tableware.
Today, there are many ways of making porcelain. Industrial production, plate-made production, casting, and lathe-production are among the primary manufacturing methods.
During our training workshops, the participants gain knowledge and experience in many aspects of the porcelain production such as workshop, machinery and equipment, material, and production-process planning. They practice the ways of porcelain manufacturing and planning in a boutique scale. Our workshops cover all the training steps listed below.
