The amazing artists Jasna Sokolovic and Noel O’Connell aka These Gray Days will be hosting some upcoming masters’ ceramic workshops that you won’t want to miss.
“We are pleased to announce that we are now beginning to hold masters’ workshops at our studio on Granville Island. Our intention is to offer intensive hands-on instruction, focusing on building skill sets with concrete objectives. They are designed to move students through a rapid progression of understanding in the medium. No previous experience is necessary for introductory courses, but students with experience are welcome. For more advanced courses, we ask that students take the introductory courses first or demonstrate their level of experience. The courses will be offered once per week and in four-week segments (although this may vary from one course to another).
Our first courses will begin Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012. Each class will be from 7pm to 10pm once per week on its given day. Space is limited (4 to 5 per class) and classes are filling up fast, so contact us right away to secure your spot.”

The human head provides the obvious link between the work of 10 prominent ceramic sculptors featured in “A Show of Heads II” at the Seattle Design Center, in Seattle, WA, March 26th – March 31st, 2012. A more subtle unifying factor is the way in which these artists employ the head in their sculptures: essentially as a departure point for inquiry into thorny issues of human social identity, psychology and, ultimately, mortality. Where beauty arises in the exhibition it is tempered by frank acknowledgment of the liabilities inherent in the human condition. Where humor emerges, it tends to be black. Works by Tom Bartel, Tanya Batura, Roxanne Jackson and Tip Toland invoke the vulnerability of the physical body to aging, disease and arrest of such vital processes as hearing. Arthur Gonzales, Jacob Foran, and Thaddeus Erdahl reflect upon the psychological struggle fundamental to self-inquiry and the attempt to know other human beings. Cristina Cordova and Doug Jeck ponder the pathos of idealism undermined by reality, and Judy Fox insinuates the elusiveness of the inner peace promised by spiritual enlightenment. In this exhibition, curator Jacob Foran has succeeded in summarizing a deeply contemplative, psychologically introspective current in contemporary figural ceramic sculpture.
