BEIJING: After 81 days in detention, China’s best-known artist, Ai Weiwei, has returned home a considerably thinner and noticeably quieter man. ”I’m fine. I’m out,” the 54-year-old artist said by telephone shortly after his release on bail. ”I’m back with my family. I’m very happy.” The state news agency, Xinhua, said police had released him on Tuesday ”because of his good attitude in confessing his crimes” and a chronic illness. Speaking from his home in north Beijing, the usually outspoken artist said he could not comment any further, adding: ”I’m on bail. Please understand.” Ai’s sister, Gao Ge, said: ”I’m very, very happy … we thank everyone, including our media friends, for all their help and support so far.” His mother, Gao Ying, told America’s National Public Radio that the family ”won’t sleep tonight”. The artist’s disappearance on April 3 sparked international condemnation, with political leaders calling for his release and sustained protests throughout the art world. He vanished after he was stopped by officials at Beijing Airport, where he was due to board a flight to Hong Kong.Please read the rest of the article here.

| Exuberant Clay Form & Surface |
Creating interesting, exuberant hand-built forms in clay does not have to be hard. In this 5-day workshop, Carol will show her method for constructing some of the unusual ceramic forms she uses in her sculpture and vessels. Our process will include paper templates, carving solid clay forms, and creating a simple 1/4 segment plaster mold. From this press mold we will make numerous forms and variations quickly by connecting, altering, stacking, piercing into and re-combining the component parts. Colour, pattern and texture are important elements in creating a rich ceramic surface and using Carol’s layered approach we will explore many ways to enliven and embellish form. Surface design techniques covered will include stamping, bas relief clay molds, slips, hand-painting wax resist coloured patterns, scraffito, weathering and staining.
Some prior experience with clay is recommended.
