2nd International Ceramic Triennial UNICUM 2012 – Slovenia
15. May – 30. September 2012
The emphasis is on popularization as well as presentation of contemporary ceramics as an independent area in the field of artistic creation. Triennial is connection between international and Slovene space and it gives fresh insight into artistic ceramics. Its intention is to search through elementary artistic research in connection with contemporary though; the character of contemporaneity is given by individualism, development of personal artistic language and enriched by traditional influences of old technologies.
II. International Triennial of Ceramics Unicum 2012 contains competitive part and accompanying events and exhibitions.
European Cultural and Technological Centre Maribor will host competitive part of the triennial as well as the international exhibition of ceramics of students from Art Schools and Academies chosen by invited mentors.For full details regarding the competitive calls for entry please visit their website here.

Workshop – Lowfire Layering, 2 Days 2 Ways: Liz Quackenbush & Lisa Orr
 Saturday – Sunday, September 10 – 11, 10am – 4pm Fee: $180 members; $200 non-members
In this 2-day demonstration workshop, each artist will share their techniques for surface enhancement. Lisa will start her part of the workshop by throwing and handbuilding soft pottery in bisque molds. Forms will include dinnerware, sugar/creamer set, salt cellar, and a compote/vase centerpiece. She will demonstrate how to make sprig molds from plasticene, apply various slips for depth and layering, and then decorate with the sprigs. Nichrome wire is used to attach moving parts. Glazing will be demonstrated on a bisque fired piece.
Liz Quackenbush thinks ornamentation is a fascinating way we can make our world more complex and beautiful and will demonstrate her handbuilding and brushwork glaze techniques. Liz will bring bisque fired red-earthenware pieces to demonstrate the way she develops her glaze painted surfaces. She will discuss her abstract visual language based on metaphor and symbolism. Slide presentations and discussions will include European and Islamic decorative clay traditions.
