 Lidded Form and Surface Techniques
Instructor: Bruce Cochrane
August 12–15, 2010 Tuition: $400 (includes $40 lab fee)
Maximum Enrollment: 15
Open to artists with intermediate or advanced throwing skills
Registration Information During this four-day workshop, participants will focus on the relationship between form, lid and function. Proportion, scale, balance and utility will be discussed as participants complete specific projects throughout the workshop. An investigation of handles, knobs and feet will be encouraged and demonstrated, as well as various lid connections, and fitting lids to thrown and altered forms. A number of pre-fired surface techniques, which may be applied to any material or process, will be explored. Students will be encouraged to push their ideas beyond familiar solutions, make some awkward yet interesting work and return to their studios excited about new possibilities and ideas.
A soda firing will take place during the session and participants are asked to bring stoneware or porcelain bisque work to experiment on during the week. Cochrane will give a public artist talk on Saturday, August 14th at 7:30 pm in the Bray Resident Center. |
