PAO.7 WORKSHOP SCHEDULE (TENTATIVE)

Here is the first draft of the workshop schedule for the PAO.7 session in Potoc! Please note that the group is scheduled to meet in Timisoara 19th of August, in order to have a sightseeing in Timisoara on Saturday 20th and an easy transfer to Potoc on Sunday, 21st. The actual workshop activities will begin on Monday 22nd with the first bus tour.

WEEK 1 is made up of extensive fieldtrips through the region, thus giving chance for sketching, painting, photographing etc. on the way. Focus will be on the ethnological and historical richness of the area with its arts and crafts. The tour-days alternate with days of intensive workshop-sessions. Here, a speed-manner concept- and idea-making is the main goal.

WEEK 2 focuses on the real-making of the ideas on the very site of the old school house of Potoc. With the means and materials at hand, the artistic concepts are to be translated into matter of fact. Successfully finished by the end of the week, they will be presented to the public – and celebrated with a finishing party eventually.

During the session, there will be different mini-workshops offered: Adobe building, Mosaique design, Joinery a.o. All this will be paralleled by a children workshop (“KinderPAO”) which has the kids of the village working along with us for a couple of days.
