The place chosen for the mobility is Joaquim Pombal’s studio in Porto (Portugal). He is a very well-known ceramist specialized in Portuguese tiles' techniques. General Objectives: 1- To integrate the student in a group work, and also in a planned ceramic process with a real production context. 2- To show the comercial viability of decoration applied to wall coverings. 3- To learn the implementation techniques and ceramic murals' assembly. 4- To determine the strategies and key points related to the different stages of the process. 5- To produce a whole project which will include both the design and the ceramic manufacturing. 6- To consolidate skills in serial or manual decoration procedures within the ceramic practises that are applied in the project. 7- To assume the commercial possibilities related to Ceramics. 8- To provide students other ways of knowledge due to the cultural and linguistic enrichment the venue offers them. Expected results: Skills: Design, implementation and tiles' decoration. Ceramic murals' assembly. Knowledge: design planning and murals' assembly made with present and contemporary techniques. Both knowledge and skills acquired will provide participants a larger competence in their integration into the labour market.
