Christina Schou Christensen @ Gallery Sofie Lachaert

by | Sep 24, 2013 | Uncategorized

Ceramic glaze and earthenware, conventional materials, are intriguingly unconventionally used. Whereas
glaze usually acts as a mere covering layer in order to protect and to ornament earthenware,
Christensen swaps roles and examines the material for its form determining properties and
possibilities. The viscosity of the glaze, the porosity of the ceramic, the temperature of the kiln and
ever-present gravity serve as the tools in Christensen’s ongoing research, leading to mesmerizing
creations and unpredictable beauty.

GLAZING MASTERCLASS with PHIL ELSON

by | Sep 23, 2013 | Uncategorized

Cost $99
Northcote Pottery Supplies
Australian
ceramicist Phil Elson creates fine hand thrown porcelain tableware,
large bowls, teapots and installation pieces. His skill with porcelain
and high fired reduction glazes is renowned. In this masterclass Elson
will demonstrate his philosophy and approach to glazing. You will
develop an understanding of glazes that are used in the cone 9-10 firing
range (approx 1280 to 1300 degrees) fired under a reducing atmosphere.
The workshop will explore topics such as; what constitutes a glaze, the
safe handling of glaze materials and the levels of toxicity in glaze
materials. You will also develop an understanding of Brogniart’s
formula, the making of a number of glazes from a single base glaze and
the process of line blending. Elson will also demonstrate the
application of glaze to bisque ware. This masterclass is a unique
opportunity to gain valuable practical skills in glaze development and
application from a leader in the field. Ideally suited for those with
some experience with clay and glaze.

ACAD Ceramics Students and Greg Payce, Katrina Chaytor, Brad Keys, Sean O’Connell, Robin Lambert

As a student run conference, ACAD Ceramics students have played a big
role in the selection of presenting artists and the conference
itinerary.  We also are pleased to have our Ceramics Visiting
Artist/Instructor 2013/14, Sean O’Connell present at our conference. We
introduce our Guest Artists for 1000 Miles Apart here, in the order of
their appearance:

Sean O’Connell

Sean O’Connell is a studio potter, recently from Helena, MT where he
was the 2012/13 Windgate Fellow at the Archie Bray Foundation.  He has
been involved in the arts since an early experience as a silversmith’s
apprentice at the age of thirteen in Fayetteville, AR.  He attended
college at the Kansas City Art Institute several years later, and upon
completing his BFA in Sculpture, Sean became increasingly interested in
making functional pottery.  This led to many years of independent
research, study and practice.  After several years working as an
instructor in community art centers throughout the Chicago area, Sean
pursued his MFA in Ceramics at the School for American Crafts, Rochester
Institute of Technology in western New York.  Shortly after he was the
2009 Salad Days Artist in Residence at Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts
in Newcastle, ME.  In 2011 Sean was accepted as a long term Artist in 
Resident at the Archie Bray Foundation.  In the course of finishing up
his time at the Bray, Sean is continuing to make quality functional
ceramics, exhibiting nationally, and regularly  gives workshops and
lectures around the country.

Ryan McKerley

Ryan Mckerley started making pots while he was an
art student at Abilene Christian University in West Texas.  In 1995,
after receiving his BFA at  Abiline Christian University, he moved to
Austin and began an apprenticeship with Billy Ray Mangham.  As his
apprenticeship continued, Ryan developed his pottery (and water carving
technique), taught children and adults and began building his own kilns.
Today he divides his time between his ceramic studio technician duties
at the Dougherty Arts Center, organizing the Art of the Pot Studio!
Tour, and teaching/exhibiting around the U.S.

Steve L. Gorman

Steve Gorman attended Central Missouri State University receiving a
BFA in Art Education in 1985 and his MA in 1995.  Gorman held teaching
positions in the Centerview School District for 7 years and theNorth
Kansas City School District for 18 years.  Recently retired from his 25
year teaching career, Gorman is able to pursue his art career full time.
 Gorman’s work is in the collection of the Nerman Museum of
Contemporary Art – Campus Collection; the Oppenheimer Collection; the
Southern Illinois University; the Waterloo Museum of Art; Baker
University; and many private collections.  He has shown his work at
Sherry Leedy Contemporary Arts in Kansas City and Componere Gallery in
St. Louis.  In 2011, Gorman had a solo exhibit at the Nerman Museum of
