Stay Weird
Instructor: Max Lehman

May 18 & 19
9:30 am – 4:30 pm

Participants
will work with Max as he explores the spontaneous side of the creative
process. Demonstrations and activities will be geared towards working
fast and not over-thinking. Technical demonstrations will include
simple slab techniques such as slump and drape molding. Max will also
show how to use these slab techniques in combination with slip-cast
objects. Finally, Max will show how simple underglaze application can
tie it all together

Remnants @ Santa Fe Clay

by | Mar 7, 2013 | Uncategorized

Opening Reception: Friday, March 8th 
5:00- 7:00 pm 

March 8 – April 20, 2013

Peter
Christian Johnson and Todd Volz will share Santa Fe Clay’s gallery this
spring. Both employ the skills of an engineer or an inventor, as much
as those of a traditional artist. Their industrial architectural artwork
makes a complementary pairing. 
 
Peter
Christian Johnson’s work “is meant to straddle the present,
simultaneously looking back to the past and toward the future. It
catalogs the act of making, of constructing, of inventing, and
reinventing.” He begins his
work by drafting pieces in a 3-D computer modeling program. Complex
armatures and paper templates aid him in building his work. His pieces
are composites of thrown, press molded and slab-built sections. Peter
has a BS in Environmental Science from Wheaton College, and an MFA from
Pennsylvania State University. He has currently been awarded a long term
residency at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT. When not in MT,
he is an associate professor at Eastern Oregon University.

Todd
Volz seamlessly combines clay, wood, metal, fabric and found objects in
his imaginative sculptures. They are so convincing as a functional
machine that you look for the ON switch, and expect them to have moving
parts! His pieces are familiar to the viewer, like seeing an old
mechanical object, but elusive enough to engage your curiosity about how
they work. He also utilizes throwing, press molds and hand-built
processes in each sculpture. The clay surfaces get several sprayed coats
of terra sigillata, creating a metallic patina. Todd is currently the
Studio Manager at Santa Fe Clay. He has a BA in Art Education and Art
from the University of Wyoming, and an MFA from the University of Idaho.
