| February 20-22, 9:30am – 4:30pm |
| Cost: $350.00 Register Now |
|
|

In
this workshop, students will explore ways to incorporate elements of
folklore and narrative into their sculptural or functional ceramics to
communicate personal meaning, depth and a sense of history. Jeffrey
Sincich and Josh Stover will work side by side as they demonstrate
various hand building and surfacing techniques that they each use in
their personal work. Students will create figurative sculpture or hand
built pottery that addresses themes of folklore and narrative. Students
should come prepared with personal imagery or personal found objects to
use as inspiration or to incorporate into their work.
Jeffrey Sincich is a ceramic and mixed media sculptor based in St Petersburg, FL. He received his BFA in Ceramics from the University of Florida. He
was granted the Regina Brown Fellowship by NCECA and traveled by
bicycle down the Pacific Coast from Portland, OR to San Francisco, CA
searching for inspiration for his work, which is inspired by personal
histories, folklore and travel.
Josh Stover
received a BFA in Ceramics from the University of Florida in 2012. He
was awarded a Fogelberg Fellowship by Northern Clay Center allowing him
to work as an artist in residence there for one year. While at Northern
Clay Center Josh had the opportunity to teach demonstrations, assist
with classes and teach a workshop at a local community college. He
enjoys teaching and helping others with their work. Josh makes
functional ceramics with narrative surface illustrations that are
influenced by Americana, cartoons and his childhood.
February 20, 6:00pm Jeffrey Sincich and Josh Stover will
give a public lecture the first night of the workshop. The artists
will discuss concepts and techniques as well as present sample works.
Tickets are $5 for the public and free to workshop participants.
