Next Show:
Image and Form
A
contemporary bombardment of imagery brought on by relentless
advertising and unyielding production of photographs have left many of
us forgetting that often these images are more than a visual
representation; instead possess shape, take form, and live in our third
dimension. There’s a depth to be considered.
Nine potters now give us the chance to investigate what it means to consider image and
form. Primarily through decal transfers these artists represent not
only the visual but rather the visual in conjunction with the tangible.
How do they come together? Where do they meet? And what’s it mean to
bring an over saturated world of images into the intimate processes of
handmade ceramic? All questions to be considered when viewing Image and Form, from July 6th-20th.
Artists participating: Dan Anderson, Israel Davis, Andrew
Gilliatt, Julie Guyot, Erik Haagensen, Forrest Lesch-Middelton, Justin
Rothshank, Jane Shellenbarger, and Rimas VisGirda.
Next New Work:
Mitchell Spain
“…inventiveness
can come out of necessity to solve or fix a problem. It’s the small
details of ingenuity, the creativeness and resourcefulness used, that I
try to capture in my work.” Working with porcelain, Spain offers us some
truly original and exceptionally outstanding ceramics this month. Upon
first examination, these pots don’t look or feel like pottery at all,
but rather an old oil container or beer can dug up from any Midwest
farming homestead. This is truly amazing stuff, and while Spain
is only fresh out of an undergraduate degree, this young man is showing
skill and potential well beyond his years.

This
four day workshop is designed to dispel the notion that pinching is
merely a beginner’s technique. Students will explore numerous
variations on the method including creating large forms, working
intuitively, exploring asymmetrical forms, incorporating found objects,
burnishing and applying terra sigilatta. The pieces will then be smoke
fired at Cheltenham Art Center. Smoke firing is a process in which
bisqued pots are buried in sawdust and smoldered overnight in a kiln.
This results in random and unpredictable smoke patterns on the pots’
surfaces. *The workshop takes place on the 21st and 22nd at The Clay
Studio, and on the 4th and 5th at Cheltenham Art Center. Please call
Sara Gallo, School Coordinator at 215-925-3453 x23 for more details. |

processes in this workshop, along with information about how to use
lusters as a layering element. Students will enjoy hands-on
demonstrations of photocopy oxide transfers on leather hard clay, decal
application on glazed objects, and relief decorating on masked
greenware. Some basic tiles will be provided by The Clay Studio for the
leather hard and greenware hands-on portion of the workshop. If
students would like to experiment with applying decals, the Studio asks
that you bring your own gloss-glazed pieces to use.
