Victor Greenaway Workshop
White Earth-Red Earth:
Expressions in Porcelain and Bucchero
Victor Greenaway – www.victorgreenaway.com
April 15th – 21st, 2012
Throwing. Intermediate / advanced
Porcelain for me is the ultimate in ceramic expression.The qualities are attractive due to the purity of the material and the unique fired characteristics. For these reasons it has recently become the preferred material for artist all over the world. Bucchero, as an ancient Etruscan ceramic process involving smoke-fired terracotta, provides the perfect contrast to porcelain with equally attractive qualities and challenges, at the reverse end of the firing temperature scale.
One transmits light, the other absorbs.
Together, the joint dynamics offer both a contrast and an affinity in the design process. During the workshop students will directly experience the challenge of working with and firing both materials, elaborating a design concept which will enhance the characteristics both contrasting materials, then making and firing the parts separately and subsequently assembling.
We will learn to appreciate and exalt the unique and complementary qualities of each material.
Cost € 860. Includes welcome dinner, lunches, lodging, tuition, materials and firings. Victor Greenaway became famous both in Australia and other continents. His work was selected for several international exhibitions including in Faenza (Italy), SOFA, Chicago (USA), Victorian and Albert Museum in London (England) and various museums in Australia, Japan, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, New Zealand. In Australia, Victor is known for his excellent craftsmanship and innovative design and for this he gained several prizes and scholarships. Many Australian potters and ceramic artists enjoyed a quality education in his studio with his teaching skills. This master class provides a unique opportunity to follow this master.
