Paper clay conference and workshops (limited spots available so register early)
Intent is to bring paper clay artists, students and interested learners together and put on an event, with outstanding instructors, a well equipped on-site studio/lab and a venue to nurture your soul all in the beautiful, artist community of Laguna Beach, California.
WORKSHOPS
This workshop is for the beginner or advanced paper clay artist and is packed with tips for building figurative or abstract forms, murals, vessel forms, tiles, bas relief and large pieces. During the four days, you will be exposed to a colorful array of techniques for building and working with paper clay from joining dry, hyper-texture techniques, fired and unfired sculptures, and speed casting rather than the more traditional slip casting.
Workshops consist of four full days of demonstrations (participants will spend two-full days with each artist, Monday – Thursday), information exchange, and hands-on opportunities with two of the world’s premier paper clay artists, Rosette Gault (Washington) and Graham Hay (NZ/Australia).

Another blog to add to your reading list – enjoy!
A few years back when I was a student with at the ANU I had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer to help out with their distance ceramics program, which was a great way to see some amazing workshops by international artists and to get to hang out with the students who traveled to the school twice a year to participate in the distance school. On one of these occasions I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine Bradley, a hilarious, witty and very talented student. Just recently I’ve reconnected with her only to discover that she’s been teaching and writing a blog about her work, her teaching, her studies and life in general. It’s great, hopefully you’ll head over to take a peek.
Ceramic animation and a missed oppurtunity…
My husband has a background in film and video and ever since I began working on my “collection” of figurative work he’s been bugging me to do an animation project with him incorporating the figurines and their distopic world. Needless to say due to lack of time and finances we’ve yet to get the project going. And then what do I stumble upon but an amazing animation by the artist Barnaby Branford (whose work I totally love) and I realize that maybe I shouldn’t bother after all, since this animation is so awesome.
Anyway, find 10 minutes of your life to check out Damaged Goods by Barnaby Branford, it’s just to sweet to miss.
And here’s a bit about Barnaby:
” Barnaby Barford is an artist who works with ceramics to create unique narrative pieces. Although an accomplished craftsman, Barford primarily selects found objects, taking both mass-manufactured and antique figurines and turning them into sinister, sardonic but invariably humorous sculptures. As the sentimental figurines become characters in his twisted narratives, Barford turns their perceived vulgarity on its head, often into a different and more explicit vulgarity.
As well as creating his one-off pieces, Barford has made projection based installations, worked with prestigious companies including Nymphenburg and has designed products for Thorsten Van Elten.”Check out more of his work here on his website.
