AN EVENING WITH
TRUDY GOLLEY: RECENT TRAVELS IN CHINA
In 2005 Trudy Golley was invited to Shanghai, China to create a two-meter tall bronze statue for placement in a public park there. That experience started an ongoing relationship with porcelain, The Pottery Workshop‘s Experimental Factory in Jingdezhen, and China in general. Now looking forward to her sixth artist residency and coleading a two-week ceramics study tour to China in the spring of 2013, Trudy will present an evening of images and stories about the innovative ceramics research that she has been pursuing there.
All are welcome to this free event.
Appetizers and refreshments will be served.
Please join us,
Friday evening, May 4th, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
in the Sportsman Room at the Recreation Centre,

THE RED DEER POTTERY CLUB PRESENTS
FROM START TO FINISH: FORM AND SURFACE
The Red Deer Pottery Club invites you to attend a
one-day workshop with ceramic artist, Trudy Golley
on Saturday, May 5th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Refreshments from 9:30 a.m. Lunch will be provided.
In this demonstration workshop Trudy will focus on methods for making and using paper clay, as well as strategies that encourage a personalized approach to press-molding and handbuilding. Trudy will also cover decorating and glazing techniques that start at the raw and leatherhard stages and progress right through to the bisque and glaze firing. The aim is to unlock the potential of glazes and glazing methods to achieve rich surfaces that enhance and support the ceramic object’s form.

| Exuberant Clay Form & Surface |
Creating interesting, exuberant hand-built forms in clay does not have to be hard. In this 5-day workshop, Carol will show her method for constructing some of the unusual ceramic forms she uses in her sculpture and vessels. Our process will include paper templates, carving solid clay forms, and creating a simple 1/4 segment plaster mold. From this press mold we will make numerous forms and variations quickly by connecting, altering, stacking, piercing into and re-combining the component parts. Colour, pattern and texture are important elements in creating a rich ceramic surface and using Carol’s layered approach we will explore many ways to enliven and embellish form. Surface design techniques covered will include stamping, bas relief clay molds, slips, hand-painting wax resist coloured patterns, scraffito, weathering and staining.
Some prior experience with clay is recommended.
Instructor: Carol Gouthro |
