Charlie Cummings will lead this three-day, hands-on workshop breaking
down the boundaries between photography, digital image manipulation,
printmaking, and clay. Charlie will expanding participant’s creative
horizon to create artworks that utilize techniques and ideas from all
these mediums.
While computers and clay may seem worlds apart, Charlie will discuss how
advances in digital software and home printer technology have made
computers an important bridge between clay and image-based art forms.
Participants in this workshop will learn to use Photoshop to create
digital collages, prepare images (photographs, drawings, paintings, or
digital) for screen printing, and to fine tune the images to get the
best possible results from the print processes used to transfer the
images to ceramic objects.
Charlie will teach how to print your photographs in full color using
common underglazes and stains. He has developed a method which avoids
the use of expensive decals, fragile photographic materials or
monochrome ceramic images.
This class will cover image manipulation and cutting-edge ceramic
techniques in a way that is accessible to all levels. Participants will
learn techniques that can be used on wet clay, leather hard clay, bone
dry clay, bisque, and glaze-fired work. Charlie will teach image
transfer techniques for every step in the ceramic process, including
photo emulsion-based screen printing to print slip and underglaze for
transfer to pots and handbuilt forms, single and multiple color
overglaze decals, and full color photographic transfers.
Participants should bring a laptop with Photoshop if possible, as well
as digital images, graphics and photographs to print. Please bring a
wide collection of images you own, or that are copyright free. Email Charlie if you have questions about what type of images to bring.
All levels are welcome, but basic knowledge of Photoshop and clay is suggested. Class size 16.

Peter
Christian Johnson and Todd Volz will share Santa Fe Clay’s gallery this
spring. Both employ the skills of an engineer or an inventor, as much
as those of a traditional artist. Their industrial architectural artwork
makes a complementary pairing.
Peter
Christian Johnson’s work “is meant to straddle the present,
simultaneously looking back to the past and toward the future. It
catalogs the act of making, of constructing, of inventing, and
reinventing.” He begins his
work by drafting pieces in a 3-D computer modeling program. Complex
armatures and paper templates aid him in building his work. His pieces
are composites of thrown, press molded and slab-built sections. Peter
has a BS in Environmental Science from Wheaton College, and an MFA from
Pennsylvania State University. He has currently been awarded a long term
residency at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT. When not in MT,
he is an associate professor at Eastern Oregon University.
Todd
Volz seamlessly combines clay, wood, metal, fabric and found objects in
his imaginative sculptures. They are so convincing as a functional
machine that you look for the ON switch, and expect them to have moving
parts! His pieces are familiar to the viewer, like seeing an old
mechanical object, but elusive enough to engage your curiosity about how
they work. He also utilizes throwing, press molds and hand-built
processes in each sculpture. The clay surfaces get several sprayed coats
of terra sigillata, creating a metallic patina. Todd is currently the
Studio Manager at Santa Fe Clay. He has a BA in Art Education and Art
from the University of Wyoming, and an MFA from the University of Idaho.
