movie day: Masterclass with Ruthanne Tudball

‘I make every element wet on my momentum wheel using very soft clay, then assemble the pot while still on the wheel. I like using soda glazing to achieve an effect that I believe expresses both the creative spirit of clay and my connection to the physical elements.’

In this film, potter Ruthanne Tudball discusses the processes and ideas behind her distinctive soda-glazed teapots.

by | Jan 31, 2018 | movie day

This mini-documentary tells a story of the Canadian artist, Marina Bychkova’s unique enchanted dolls . When she started making her first doll at six year old, she never thought her dolls would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars 25 years later. “More than mere playthings, Enchanted Dolls are a brand of elegantly sculpted and articulated works of art. Adorned with elaborate costumes and graced with precious gemstones, metals, and rare found objects, each ball-jointed porcelain doll intricately conveys an aspect of our humanity.” – Marina Bychkova
