Imagine designing a 3D object on your computer, printing it in 3D and
translating that into a ceramic object. and imagine doing it in an
inspiring century-old factory while surrounded by creative minds from
around the world.
With Medalta’s Bits to Atoms workshop (in
partnership with Medicine Hat College), you can do all of this. Bits to
Atoms facilitators will take you through the process of digital design
and 3D printing, in plastic. From there, you will make a plaster mould
from your plastic object, which will serve as the model for your ceramic
piece.
This exciting opportunity is perfect for anyone working
in the field of Education, Digital Design & Rending or Ceramic Art
who is always looking for ways to incorporate new technologies into
their practice.
This workshop will present handbuilt and
thrown functional ware with both commercial and hand made sprig mold
embellishments. Attendees will have a hands-on demonstration of casting a
one part mold for sprig use. Sprigs will then be explored in a variety
of embellishing techniques on and off wheel in making and assembling
highly decorative functional ware.
Thankfully things are coming out of the deep freeze up here in Canada, but I still thought this was a handy tip to share – using a fish tank warmer to keep your throwing water warm on cold days.
Thanks to Jason Bade for sharing the tip on Facebook’s Clay Buddies page.
Join Jason Walker for weekend and hone your sculpting
skills. This workshop will include a 45 minute slide presentation of
Jason’s sculptural work. The first day will demonstrate various
sculpting techniques. On Sunday, you will see more sculpting
techniques, talk about designing a surface and see demonstrations on
surface treatments with underglazes and china paints. This is a lecture
and demonstration workshop, not hands-on. All levels welcome!
