Exhibition runs: 2 – 13 September 2009
Place and Being
New work by Margaret Carlin and Avi Amesbury in ceramics and charcoal drawings. The exhibition, Place and Being, is the exploration of a physical manifestation of the emotions, knowledge and character of the artists working in response to landscape, either the natural environment or human (or inner) landscape. “To describe the landscape is to inscribe the character [of the artist].” Through the use of spontaneous and direct gestures, both in ceramic and mark making on paper, the spiritual essence of the landscape is revealed. The work is not only a representation, (of a particular physical location for example,) but is the presence as well.

Paper clay conference and workshops (limited spots available so register early)
Intent is to bring paper clay artists, students and interested learners together and put on an event, with outstanding instructors, a well equipped on-site studio/lab and a venue to nurture your soul all in the beautiful, artist community of Laguna Beach, California.
WORKSHOPS
This workshop is for the beginner or advanced paper clay artist and is packed with tips for building figurative or abstract forms, murals, vessel forms, tiles, bas relief and large pieces. During the four days, you will be exposed to a colorful array of techniques for building and working with paper clay from joining dry, hyper-texture techniques, fired and unfired sculptures, and speed casting rather than the more traditional slip casting.
Workshops consist of four full days of demonstrations (participants will spend two-full days with each artist, Monday – Thursday), information exchange, and hands-on opportunities with two of the world’s premier paper clay artists, Rosette Gault (Washington) and Graham Hay (NZ/Australia).

A few years back when I was a student with at the ANU I had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer to help out with their distance ceramics program, which was a great way to see some amazing workshops by international artists and to get to hang out with the students who traveled to the school twice a year to participate in the distance school. On one of these occasions I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine Bradley, a hilarious, witty and very talented student. Just recently I’ve reconnected with her only to discover that she’s been teaching and writing a blog about her work, her teaching, her studies and life in general. It’s great, hopefully you’ll head over to take a peek.
