ROB FROESEUnidentified Objects
May 18 – June 11, 2016
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 21, 2-4pm

Rob
Froese makes clay objects of visual and tactile interest, for use and
contemplation, using a variety of clays and kiln firing methods.
A focus of his utilitarian work has been to explore light and dark
contrasting layers in clay body, slip, and glaze, working with an
immediacy and responding to the flow of actions and decisions that take
place during the many stages of production. His process of making
sculptural objects shares that aspect of ‘chance meeting choice.’
In this exhibition clay objects are presented that evoke nature, time
and contemplation; carrying the feeling of a found object from the
natural environment.

Throwing, Spraying and ^6 Electric Firing
Workshop with Steven Hill
In
this 3-day workshop, you will learn the spraying and layering
techniques that gives Steven Hill Pottery its’ unique look. You will
work in Steven Hill’s studio, using his glazes and his spray guns and
you will receive coaching directly from Steven…
On the first day, Steven will discuss his philosophy on making pottery,
while throwing, assembling and applying slip to the forms and techniques
that he is well known for. The focus will be on spouts, handles, form,
surface, and the relationship between these elements. Steven will
demonstrate pitchers, bowls, mugs and yunomis.
Day 2 will be glazing day. In the morning Steven will address ways to
achieve the kind of richness and surface variation in electric kilns
that potters have come to associate with reduction / atmospheric firing.
The basic techniques of spraying and the more advanced theories of
layering and blending glazes will be explained and demonstrated. In the
afternoon students will glaze their pots. After pots are glazed we will
load kilns and fire overnight at ^6 – 8 oxidation.
On day 3 there will be technical lectures on spraying techniques,
equipment, firing cycles, and further experimentation. Finally we will
end up by unloading the kilns and discussing the results. |
