upcoming: Northern Clay Workshop with Olivia Tani

by | Jan 10, 2021 | workshops

Description
Would you make it in a slump? Would you prefer it on a hump? Join NCC studio artist Olivia Tani in the studio for a two-day workshop to revolutionize the possibilities of utilizing hump and slump molds in your own making routines. Watch and absorb demonstrations of her masterful techniques using molds to transform slabs into carefully considered, dynamic plates, then practice a similar process where a mold is just the beginning. You’ll drape, carve, and incorporate wheel techniques to shape and trim your form, and add a foot. You’ll examine and integrate every square inch of surface as you plan, build, reduce, and smooth a large plate. Learn about making your own bisque mold off of another form or on the wheel, how to construct and what to consider. Bring your own mold to use during the workshop. It can be an existing plaster or bisque mold or even a ceramic, plastic, or metal form. X2: Saturday & Sunday, February 20 & 21, 12 — 4 pm Instructor: Olivia Tani Fee: $115 non-members (members recieve 5% discount)

online event: Craft in Art Therapy: Diverse Approaches to the Transformative Power of Craft Materials and Methods

Craft Inspires Series Event

About this Event

Fuller Craft Museum is excited to host a panel discussion based on the new book Craft in Art Therapy: Diverse Approaches to the Transformative Power of Craft Materials and Methods (Routledge, 2020).

Craft in Art Therapy is the first book dedicated to illustrating the incorporation of craft materials and methods into art therapy theory and practice. It demonstrates that when practiced in a culturally sensitive and socially conscious manner, craft practices are more than therapeutic—they also hold transformational potential.

The panel will be moderated by the book’s editor Lauren Leone, and will feature contributing authors Mikey Anderson, Marilyn Holmes, Rachel Wallis, and Sandie Yi.

Panelists will share how they have used craft in their own art and self-care, and in individual, group, and community art therapy practice. Discussion and audience Q&A to follow will explore the therapeutic benefits of craft materials and media, as well as craft’s potential to build community and to support individuals in caring for themselves and each other.

This is a virtual event to be held live on Zoom at 1pm EST on January 16, 2021. You will receive the zoom link with your ticket confirmation via email.
