Pure and Not-so-Simple: Ceramics Masterclass with Kirsten Coelho

Offered by Slow Clay

Come and be inspired by one of Australia’s exciting and successful
ceramic artists! Kirsten Coelho is an award-winning ceramic artist
who works in porcelain, producing reduction fired works that attempt to
fuse the formal and the abstract.

More recently her work has been influenced by nineteenth and early
twentieth century enamel wares and and the abstracted surface
possibilities these objects can show as they begin to age.

Kirsten Coelho trained in Adelaide at the South Australian School of
Art before moving to the UK in the early 1990’s where she worked for a
number of years in a London Studio.

Since returning to Australia in 1998, Kirsten Coelho has been a
studio tenant at the JamFactory Centre for Contemporary Craft and Design
and completed a Master of Visual Art at the South Australian School of
Art . Kirsten now works from a studio at her home in Adelaide, South
Australia. She was winner of the 2012 Sidney Myer Ceramics Award and is
represented by galleries in London, US and Australia.

Her Masterclass at Slow Clay Centre will be a one-day demonstration
and discussion-based class where participants will be able to access
Kirsten’s considerable expertise and knowledge about porcelain, working
on the potter’s wheel, glazing and building a career in ceramics! All
welcome, no prior experience necessary!

A little about myself—I grew up in West Virginia, where I attended a small liberal arts college. Through an amazing clay program, I was able to see where the possibilities of clay could take you! I graduated in 2010 with my Bachelors of Art and moved to Mississippi to start graduated school. I went to The University of Mississippi, where I completed my Masters of Fine Art under the direction of Matt Long in the spring of 2013. I am currently an adjunct at my alma mater, Concord University in Athens WV and work as part time as a gallery assistant at the David L. Dickirson Fine Arts Gallery in Beckley WV.
