Harvard Ceramics Spring 2021 online Lecture and Demonstration series, The Artist’s Studio

by | Jan 21, 2021 | workshops

What leads an artist to work in clay? How does an artist develop their artistic voice and practice in clay? In this series, we’ll learn through conversation with eight multicultural contemporary artists and educators who use clay in ways that are functional, sculptural or performative. Each artist will present their work through images or a brief demo and host Fabio J. Fernández will guide the discussion through a range of topics including access, mentorship, and community.

Roberto Lugo, Saturday, March 6
Linda Lopez, Saturday, March 27

“Workshop from Home” webinar with Carole Epp

by | Jan 21, 2021 | workshops

Delve into the entire process of bringing narrative illustration to life on functional ceramics with Carole Epp! Over the course of this 2-hour all-demonstration workshop there will be discussions of design elements and color theory as it applies to surface and object design, as well as the how-tos of storytelling. Plus detailed handbuilding, Mishima, and underglaze painting techniques will be shown.

Carole Epp will teach you how to:

  • Handbuild a plate using found-object slump molds
  • Use the Mishima process to bring a variety of styles of illustration to life on your work
  • Create beautiful narrative surfaces using design elements and color theory
  • Use underglazes like watercolors to create depth and visual interest in your illustrations
  • Translate your ideas into interesting visual narratives

Our Workshop from Home webinars are just like in-person workshops, except you are guaranteed a front-row seat! Ask questions throughout, or during the Question & Answer session at the end.

Registration fee: $35

Registrants can access a recording of the video for 30 days following the event to revisit techniques! (Registrants will be emailed a video link within 48 hours of the webinar conclusion.)
