CHROMA Show and Hiroe Hanazono Workshop
It runs from January 28th – February 27th We will also have an Artist Reception on Friday, February 11th from 6-9pm with both Mikey and Hiroe present.
Additionally we are doing a workshop with Hiroe Hanazono Titled “From Template to Mold: Designing Functional Forms Without the Wheel”. It will run Saturday & Sunday, February 12th and13th from 10am-5pm
During this two-day workshop we will explore the creation of unique original functional forms by making simple molds. Hiroe will show a variety of methods to design forms. We will start with precise drawings and transform them into wood and clay templates for plaster mold-making. She will also demonstrate basic plaster mold-making techniques and work with students to make a mold of their own unique form. Additionally, she will present a slide lecture which will include source material, inspirations for her work and a pictorial sequence of her design process. Basic ceramic or sculpture experience helpful, but all levels welcome.
Cost: $200 if registered by January 21st/ $250 after January 21st
Hiroe Hanazono
Philadelphia artist Hanazono demonstrates a passion for simplicity and modernity with her functional ceramic creations. She creates a transcendent visual experience with her work, stimulating one’s appetite. A repetition of simple geometric shapes and lines define her body of work, integrating quietly with the vessel and the visual space it contains. Slip casting is used to create Hanazono’s designs, creating immaculately executed and unusual forms. Using wooden molds to create pattern, Hiroe’s method results in a seamless presentation of vivid color and form.
Michaelene Walsh
Hailing from Baton Rouge, Walsh creates playful vessels that pull at a vast array of eras and media. Her designs and imagery speak to Pre-Columbian Moche stirrup vessels as well as Japanese anime cartoons. Walsh wants people to use her objects in an everyday context even though they hover between functional and symbolic vessel like her Abundance Cups. While in use, the user is subtly reminded of the title of the object, inspiring potential desires or hopes. Through the use of glaze and surface texture, Walsh creates irresistibly touchable forms.

Vitrified Print Course – Paul Scott
By Paul Scott (UK)
April 11th – 15th 2011
Once again Guldagergaard proudly presents Paul Scott and his printmaking course for those with some experience of print and/or ceramics and/or glass. Discover a range of transfer technologies and direct printing or develop a particular aspect of a process or technique.
The “Vitrified Print” courses have formed an important part of the developing knowledge in the field, and are well known for being very informative and hugely enjoyable. Vitrified Print will be structured to encourage the students research interests to take priority over a rigid teaching format. This allows the individuals to develop a technique or process under expert guidance. For those wishing to have a specific program of work, the workshop will concentrate initially on direct drawing – monoprint transfers – then go on to consider the processes of relief and intaglio printing as well as screenprinting and lithography. We will examine the theory of traditional decal production but concentrate on alternative transfer technologies, direct printing and the role of laser printer and photocopier in ceramic and glass transfers.
Emphasis will be placed on developing high quality work and processes using minimal specialist equipment, so that participants will be able to continue using the new technologies and methods in their own studios. The course will include a series of illustrated lectures on printed ceramics, their origins and contemporary roles and functions.
Paul Scott
Paul is well known for his research through his books, in particular ceramics and print. He has curated exhibitions and held workshops around the world. In short: He is one of the world’s top people in the field of print techniques!
