A distinctive feature of the studios work is a complete departure from the official framework, and this makes it possible to realize lifes deepest fantasies. Guests come here from borisov, minsk and other cities of belarus. So, what is their secret . You will find out right now. Good afternoon, anastasia. Hello, alina, glad to see you. Mutually. Anastasia, tell us how the idea of creating such a studio came about . In general, it was very unexpected, i had never been involved with ceramics, just never at all, but there were moments when i went into a store, i really liked something, i just liked it so much, i picked it up, looked at it, bought something, but v in principle, working with clay i never had any idea, no thoughts, nothing at all, i didnt attend clubs as a child either, i didnt draw, i never sculpted, in principle, i have a daughter, there was some kind of competition at school. The condition of which was the obligatory use of natural material, in winter you cant get straw, there is no grass anymore, and i decided to take something to make from clay, bought clay, after a long, long train. Because, in principle, i didnt know how to get it, find it, i made it, Something Like that, i dont remember what competition that i made, i remember it was some kind of little bugger, terrible, just clumsy, in general, but i liked the process itself so much, and mm, literally after 2 weeks i decided that i wanted to do this, i had to change my whole life, because my First Education was an engineer builder, industrial civil engineering, then i received a second education, and came to teach because in order to teach. You yourself need to teach others, thats how it turned out to be in the center of childrens creativity, we studied ceramics with the children, well, only then the cactus studio appeared. Cactus, this is the first question they ask me, why cactus, i dont know why cactus, thats how it turned out, they couldnt come up with a name for a very long time, there were a lot of options, and they just bought aprons, there were beautiful, beautiful cacti, Something Like that , you take a piece of clay, and basically start sculpting searches. Hedgehog, an ostrich comes out, because something went wrong, not because something didnt work out, but because it turned out this way, the peculiarity of the studio is that we dont mold according to a model, we dont have such a thing that everyone comes to what something topic no, everyone comes with their own project, just relax, someone starts sculpting, just a child takes clay, he doesnt even know what he will do, then the product turns out very beautiful, we dont prepare the clay ourselves, we buy clay, more often in total, these are russian producers, spain, and there are two types of clay, generally in nature, whiteburning and redburning, we work with one and the other, beautifully redburning, they have their own color due to the content of iron oxide, thats why its such a red color, and by the way , if do a restorative firing, in an oxygenfree environment, the clay will be bright black, a beautiful metallic color and. And it also depends on the composition of the clay, if there is fireclay in the clay, you can sculpt some larger products, because this is no longer the case it loses its shape when dried, does not crack, and well, there are slightly other possibilities, some kind of tiles, for small plastics, so we use this kind of plastic clay for children, it molds very well, somewhat reminiscent of plasticine, so if very little ones come kids, its not so difficult for them to switch to. From clay, ceramics cannot be rushed, if you rush , and obviously there will be some flaws and it wont work out, having thought out a sketch on paper, having drawn it, you need to bring it to life, think about what kind of clay you will use in process, and what kind of glazes, this is all laid out at the design stage, then the modeling itself takes a very long time to slowly dry, then firing once, twice , and it really develops patience, there are three stages of the product, the first product, when we just sculpted it, when we have the clay soft, plastic, when you need to be extremely careful with your products, the second stage, when it has already hardened, you can somehow correct it a little, rub out some burrs, unevenness, imperfections somewhere, and after this stage we send the product to the oven, and drying also takes some time, because here you need to be very careful so as not to harm it. And after the first firing , the fun begins, we cover it with glaze. And here it is very interesting for children, because the glaze before firing has a completely different color than after firing. We even there is such a joke why is it white, because it is green, because before firing the eye can be white, pink, red, but after firing it is a completely different color. And children sometimes experiment, in principle, when we open the oven, it will always be wow, because we open, in principle, we do not always know what it could be. Glaze is glass powder with some components and dyes; dyes, as a rule, are metal oxides. In ceramics there are professional tools and tools that we adapt because and this there may even be caps from felttip pens, some sticks, anything that can make some kind of texture, an imprint, some kind of sieve, kitchen tools, for example, such a wellknown spatula, in general, working with clay is such a process, its better to show it once , than to say 100 times, well, alina, lets start, well, lets open the clay, and first we need to thoroughly compact our piece, since there is something inside. That is, it needs to be done like this, yes, we slam it, we are from a piece using clay we will make an empty ball with a thin wall. 5 mm, for this we need you need to separate two small pieces of clay, identical, and make two even koloboks , now the most interesting thing is, from two heavy lumps of clay we will make a beautiful elegant ball, what is needed for this, take one piece, lightly tap it, you should get Something Like this marshmallow in chocolate, yeah, now we put the round part in the palm of our hand, make a hole with our thumb, we will press through the walls , the most important thing here is not to rush, you can relax, think about something pleasant, now the most interesting thing, these spheres are needed connect, yeah, lets increase the area a little, glue the surfaces together, and thats how we now begin to connect. It is very important not to crush, so all our movements are very neat, light, we dont squeeze anything , we take the tool and begin to move the clay, now we will give our ball the shape of a pumpkin, not the first time, gradually, in general the goal is not the product, the product is bonus. Well, in working with children, because modeling develops motor skills, imaginative thinking, and the goal is a development process, we smooth out each side, because we dont have any hard lines, everything should be smooth , you can start making the tail, tear off a piece of clay, start rolling it, roll it so that one part is thinner, and now you can glue it well. Moisten with water, press, press not hard, remember that the pumpkin itself is hollow inside, we apply the texture in a stack, but not in this position, but at an angle, we make some such movements, try to do it absolutely evenly, there is no need to do it directly, a little bit we rub the edge that is closer to the tail, like this. To give volume to our legs. Well, this is the pumpkin we have, if we want to make some kind of box or sugar bowl, we can also cut off the lid, we will have a more functional thing. Now we will send this product to dry for about 2 weeks, and then to the oven. Vessels, vases, jugs, dishes, panels and much more, all these are the fruits of the creations of ceramic masters, so what is ceramics . You will say that this is clay and you will be exactly half right, ceramics this is nothing more than a product made of clay using subsequent firing, yes, it is a rather laborintensive process , household items, kitchen utensils or decorative elements are made from processed clay, during the firing process the material changes its color and becomes durable, ceramic production is one of the the most ancient on earth, this means that the history of ceramics dates back to ancient times. An interesting fact is that many scientists agree that clay is the first artificial material obtained by man from natural Raw Materials about 30,000 years ago. Clay modeling was one of the first crafts mastered by primitive man. The technology for making ceramic products has evolved from the simplest hand sculpting and the first potters wheel mechanism to. And even ceramic 3d printers. Now you can see a huge number of ceramic masters who use various techniques and combine incompatible things. On social networks you can find a lot of works by both belarusian and foreign sculptors. For example, modern belarusian artist, ceramist, anatoly kontsup, who knows and loves this difficult craft. Art. In his works , the master avoids the unambiguous simplicity; they are obvious, mysteriously poetic, and fantastic. Natural and even everyday. Now it has become very popular to participate in collaborations with famous brands, and this is good news, as it gives artists new opportunities and brands to add new colors to their collections. New fashion trend. Its safe to say that the world consume ceramic products, although artists such as Pablo Picasso made a huge number of ceramic vases, and it is now that ceramics have begun to be perceived as something more. These are not just decorative objects that serve as interior decoration, but now they are also stylish art objects. Original ceramic decorations and unusual interior items appear. Ceramics has become one of the most popular hobbies and trends in recent years, and clay is used as a material in modern. Art. The debate about what is more important in ceramics benefit or beauty, is being carried out in creative workshops around the world, a vase for flowers or flowers for a vase, or for example, how does abstraction behave in ceramics . These and other questions did not prevent her from remaining in the spotlight and being fashionable. Be the center of attention and follow fashion trends in the cultural life of our country.

Hello everyone, on the air sportkadr, the main multisports program of belarusian television, the second World Championship in olympic sports in september was held with the participation of the National Team of the republic of belarus. A fact that can be encouraging is that ours will perform at the 2024 Olympic Games in paris, following the weightlifters, the World Wrestling championship took place in serbia and brought belarus got one medal, the main thing was to pass the selection and win a license. Chairman of the Belarusian Wrestling Federation alim selimov discussed them exclusively for the sportskadr project; in this organization he acts progressively and calmly. Considering all these factors, of course, im not happy with the teams performance. But we still have the opportunity ahead and two chances to get to the Olympic Games, where two tournaments, five, four licenses will be played out, i am sure that we will still get there, a lot can be done here to say, relieving ourselves of any responsibility, no, under no circumstances, we just want to give as much of ourselves as possible in our time. For the result, thats why im a little upset. We will definitely cover the topic of belarusian wrestling today on our broadcast, and after the announcement there will be a lot of football. Cape forever 5 years since the great loss. Bate took belshina and could not lose, but we will also discuss borisovs current affairs. Next is the National Beach soccer team, which is one victory away from the euroleague final, from italy exclusive material. Next, a word to an important person in our handball. Olympic champion konstantin sharavarov will express his opinion on Different Things volleyball, wrestling and biathlon for starters. Solo is back. Friends. The bat borisov Football Club is experiencing a total sale; the 2023 season has not yet ended. Young, but cool by our standards, players are leaving and will continue to leave the borisov arena. Pudrovets, malkevich, bocherov, gromyko and others are on the board, but are looking for happiness or will look in other groups. On the anniversary of the death of the founder of bata anatoly kapsky. Brisov residents received bobruisk belshina. On top of Everything Else , explayer, excoach of the yellowblues vladimir nevinsky returned to this city to help alshevsky. What is a reason for me to be nostalgic and at the same time ask questions about the future of bath. Alexander yakubovsky will pick up the topic. Anatoly anatolyevich kapsky still remains in the hearts of every bate football fan. The founder of the club passed away on september 22 , 2018. 5 years flew by so quickly, but 53 minutes of every match in borisov is a special time. What i have in life too a lot, this is his merit, on such a day i would, of course, like to win to please the fans, well, it couldnt have been any other way, i m very glad that we did it, right from the torpedo, you are the first after this tragic, tragic events played with batte, what it was like, i remember this day like today, it was very hard, some kind of playing against bots it was very hard, yes, i remember this day, i met him there twice , in my opinion, thats when i trained with the base for the first time in the eighteenth year, also immediately before his death, and before that, even there in childhood, well, what can i say, a man with a capital letter and here this man, well, a legend of belarusian football , without. There would be no belarusian football for him, well, there would essentially be no belarusian football , thats why he created everything here, i heard that when he came in, everyone was afraid, even when they were winning, directly, so the person could really charge, i think at the same time, cram in the case when it was necessary, and so the team moved from game to game, well , on a day like this, of course, we couldnt lose points and congratulations to everyone on the victory, are you in the package, no, thats not it, please look, its just a statue for the best player of the match, free kicks for the borisovites, a shot on goal, its 2 0, a gift of shame, such a great shot at the performance of bata captain valery bocherov will be victorious in the game with belshina, 2 1, but the burden of responsibility was felt, the hosts admit, so that the brujc team could use it as a trump card, i wont say that it was a trump card, yes, we knew about it, we talked to the guys, that there will be certain moments, of course, it will influence, probably, but many of our guys didnt play in such stadiums, so, thank god, everything turned out fine, the only thing, of course, was that we were inattentive at the beginning of the game, of course, we missed this quick goal unnecessarily, our defenders didnt work, that s how it is as for the game itself, i thanked the guys for their good work, you yourself saw that after conceding a goal we took control of the game, well, the only thing, of course , that is missing is probably somewhere in the end of performing skills, and so on by and large. There are no big guys, to score, we just need to have our own chances and decide, we objectively had more chances, although in the first half, to be honest, our game leaves much to be desired, i dont know why, to be honest, because, well, belshina had more control of the ball in the first half, well so visually than us , so the first half was quite difficult, but nevertheless we scored two, the captain of the yellowblues, valery bochurova, will probably move to the urals in the winter, and goalkeeper andrei kudrovets is already at dynamo moscow. In the borisov club, right now he on loan until the end of the season, which suits the player himself, if it didnt suit me, i probably wouldnt have stayed , i think, that is, in fact, you havent been to moscow yet, thats true, no, you havent been to moscow i was, well, because the medical examination took place in serbia and i havent been in moscow yet, theyre waiting for you there from the new one, well, apparently, since they probably bought me, i think, i think, theyre waiting. And for a reason, thats why i think they are waiting, the figure is already higher, i apologize for the questions, but the figure that was announced is 400,000 euros, you can trust it, yes
