Pure and Not-so-Simple: Ceramics Masterclass with Kirsten Coelho

by | Jan 21, 2014 | Uncategorized

Offered by Slow Clay

Come and be inspired by one of Australia’s exciting and successful
ceramic artists! Kirsten Coelho is an award-winning ceramic artist
who works in porcelain, producing reduction fired works that attempt to
fuse the formal and the abstract.

More recently her work has been influenced by nineteenth and early
twentieth century enamel wares and and the abstracted surface
possibilities these objects can show as they begin to age.

Kirsten Coelho trained in Adelaide at the South Australian School of
Art before moving to the UK in the early 1990’s where she worked for a
number of years in a London Studio.

Since returning to Australia in 1998, Kirsten Coelho has been a
studio tenant at the JamFactory Centre for Contemporary Craft and Design
and completed a Master of Visual Art at the South Australian School of
Art . Kirsten now works from a studio at her home in Adelaide, South
Australia. She was winner of the 2012 Sidney Myer Ceramics Award and is
represented by galleries in London, US and Australia.

Her Masterclass at Slow Clay Centre will be a one-day demonstration
and discussion-based class where participants will be able to access
Kirsten’s considerable expertise and knowledge about porcelain, working
on the potter’s wheel, glazing and building a career in ceramics! All
welcome, no prior experience necessary!

I was recently invited to send cups to AKAR for their upcoming yunomi exhibition (yah I know I’m still pinching myself thinking it’s a dream!). Being the stress case that I normally am I made 21 cups to ensure that I would have a perfect 5 to send. So now I’m selling off the extras this upcoming tuesday at noon (central time).

Join me if you’d like for some lovely yunomies at theuntrainedeye.etsy.com
