Cerámica para Todos, in collaboration with Pitirre Proyectos offers scholarships for workshops in Puerto Rico led by internationally renowned ceramic artists. This initiative provides local artists with the opportunity to learn from global experts, fostering creativity, skill development, and cultural exchange.

This one-month program offers two ceramic artists from Puerto Rico the opportunity to travel to the mountains of Western North Carolina for an immersive learning experience. The internship begins with two weeks at Córdova Studios, where participants engage in studio practice and mentorship, followed by a two-week hands-on ceramics workshop at the Penland School of Craft.

In collaboration with University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, we led a unique project focused on figurative ceramics.
This project included an 8-week course in sculptural ceramics through which students created a series of expressive sculptures, a group exhibition and a collaborative piece, all centered on exploring the rich intersection between identity and form.

Center for the Study of Figurative Ceramics founder Cristina Córdova has developed and collaborated on projects with Penland School of Craft through a shared commitment to ceramics education and the support of emerging artists. Together, these collaborations reflect a deep dedication to fostering creativity, strengthening craftsmanship, and expanding the possibilities of contemporary expression in ceramics.

In our book we explore the human form in depth, from concept sketches and armatures to detailed instructions for constructing legs, torso, arms, hands, and head from clay.

In Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay, renowned sculptor and instructor Cristina Córdova teaches everything you need to know to replicate the full human figure using clay.

We created two online course for Domestika to explore the art of figurative sculpture.

Join Cristina Córdova as she guides you through the process of creating a unique clay bust using the slab building technique. Learn how to bring expression, anatomy, and gesture to life in your sculpture, transforming simple slabs of clay into a powerful work of art.
