2nd International Symposium of Overglaze-Underglaze Paintings 2011

Anadolu University, Fine Arts Faculty- Department of Ceramics, Eskisehir-TURKEY.

Theme and Intention of the symposium:
The theme of the symposium is to make ceramic artworks by applying overglaze-underglaze paints on particular forms which will reflect the artists’ unique style and techniques. While making overglaze- underglaze paintings, subject and technique will be decided by the artists.
Intention of the symposium is to make the ceramic artists and lecturers of different cultures come together, both from Turkey and from abroad. We believe this will create an ambiance that enables communication by sharing experiences, having the opportunity to discuss techniques and ideas. We hope that artists will get to know each other better and we desire for participants to enjoy international cultural exchange.

Michael Ciavarella

Official opening: Friday 29 April, 6.00pm
Opening speaker: Stephanie Outridgefield
Contemporary Artist (Public Art) The concept of miniature artworks en masse has been intriguing and fascinating art-lovers from the very beginning of Up in Smoke at the Clay Energy Conference in Gulgong, where 150 matchboxes were filled with a ceramic artwork crafted by each contributing artist. Michael Ciavarella has an ambitious long-term goal of a collection of 5000 matchbox artworks to be exhibited at the International Ceramics Conference in Finland in 2014. Ceramic artists from around the world are invited to contribute an artwork to the collection.Noosa Regional Gallery[email protected]www.noosaregionalgallery.org
