March 16th to 18th 2012
Whangamata, Coromandel, New Zealand
For the first time in New Zealand a conference is happening dedicated to the art of wood firing. This will be the start of the renaissance for the wood firing fraternity and the best possible introduction for potters and ceramicists that have wanted to have a go with wood firing. The weekend is full of kiln building, kilns firing and an exploration of all things related to the wood fired pot. International guests will lead the charge into the frantic pace of kiln construction, with participants expected to lend a hand and feel the clay under their fingernails. A variety of kilns, from small salt kilns through to large temporary kiln installations will be erected on site, pots made to fill them and then the fires are lit. A pyromania of heat and flame will ensure the weekend is an impression burnt into the memory of all. There will be the sort of feasting and company that legends are made of and with camping on-site the partying and all night stoking vigils can last until dawn.

Masterclass workshop with Khaled SIRAG – July 30th to August 12th 2012
Khaled SIRAG “Development of a monumental Collective work” A lecturer doctor at Helwan University in Cairo (a member of the ceramics department, Faculty of Applied Arts), Khaled SIRAG is an artist known for his personal and collective work, he exhibits around the world and he’s also known for participating in many international symposiums and workshops. He already lead (in Korea, Turkey) the same kind of project we will address in this course: Development of a monumental Collective work. The title of the work is “How to build Humanity” “Indeed, how to build humanity …? It should be a central element to cherish: a pillar, a mast, a guide ….We believe humanity develops through “individualities” put together…We will develop a monumental piece of about 2.50m – 3m in height which will be surrounded by an accumulation of personal items, where each individual will print and express his/her identity. (see photo below). The base of this project will develop with discussions and the creativity of all the participants. We will use the following techniques: Raku, Naked Raku, and Pit firing for larger pieces that made up the core. This workshop will last two weeks. On Friday of the second week, the firing (Raku, Naked Raku) will be held in public on the main square of the old town; we will “picnic” on the spot and some artists from Vallauris will join us for the preparation and the firings. Further details will come later when all negotiations with the Cityhall will be finalized. This outdoors collective work will be a donation to the city of Vallauris and be on permanent display in a public place. The event will be inserted in the communication of the “Pottery Festival” to be held on the last day of the course.
