BRIAN BOLDON Ceramics Visiting Artist Workshop @ ACAD in Calgary

The ACAD Ceramics Program is pleased to present a workshop with Brian Boldon, Feb. 1 to 4. Boldon has developed new technologies for digital printing on ceramics and glass, integrating digital media with traditional ceramic studio art practices. His workshop will align with the integration at ACAD of the decal printing process for ceramics/glass to support curriculum and students who wish to interface 3D with the digital image. Over the course of the workshop, Boldon will work with the students to experiment with this digital colour image technology.

The workshop will include demonstrations, discussion of works produced with the printed decal images, a formal lecture and senior critiques. A confirmed itinerary with more detailed time lines and workshop activities will be posted on the ACAD Ceramics blog closer to the event.

For more information on Brian Boldon’s work, please visit his website at brianboldon.com. Boldon also has a website for In Plain Sight Art: www.ipsart.com. This site highlights the large scale architectural and public art that Boldon and artist Amy Baur create together in collaboration. In addition to making individual work and collaborating, Boldon prints decals for artists and the site supports information about file preparation, cost and suggestions for success.
