Abstract

The aim is to analyze the Escuela Libre de Sargadelos (Sargadelos Free School) as an experimental project in the artistic-educational field that was developed jointly by the Technology and Communication Departments of the Laboratorio de Formas (Shapes Laboratory). This analysis is carried out through the documentary archive we have compiled: the reports on the experiences of the free school in the period 1972-1995, photographs and part of Isaac Díaz Pardo's collection held at Cidade da Cultura (Santiago de Compostela). The reports of the Summer Meetings, under the name of Cuadernos del Seminario de Estudios Cerámicos de Sargadelos (Sargadelos Ceramic Studies Seminar Notebooks, hereinafter SEC Sargadelos) are, to this day, documents of great research value that give an account of the evolution of time, describing the theoretical influences and the artistic and educational proposals developed. Although it is true that there are many scientific studies on the artistic, cultural and industrial activity of Sargadelos, the pedagogical and innovative side of the Free School has hardly been studied in depth. These meetings constitute a contemporary experimental school as a project that transgresses the processes of teaching and learning. The objective of this research is to recover all the reports and analyse them both in their conceptual and visual content.
