Check out the changes in our summer Ceramics Studio schedule!
June 10-12 "Densisty, Transparency & Voluptuous line" (CER610)- Hunt Prothro
"From Paleolithic times and the origins of conscious thinking, to the present, diverse, enigmatic expression of an art tradition, human beings have used clay to made pottery. With in-depth discussion of these origins and his own technique, Hunt will demonstrate throwing and the manipulation of form, texturing with a variety of tools, and coloring the surface with mason stains and washes. Students will participate with their own work using these methods of layering a transparent stratigraphy of rich emotional depth; creating an object of self-referential, mythic form; contemplative, yet tangibly concrete."
Hunt Prothro has been a studio pottery and teacher since 1972. After growing up in California and graduating from Hanover College, Indiana with a BA in religion and literature, Hunt returned to California to study with Marguerite Wildenhain at her studio, Pond Farm, in Sonoma County. Recently, Hunt has studied Paleolithic cave art in southwest France. His work and teaching is heavily influenced by these experiences and he will discuss each during his workshop.
June 27-July 1 "Plaster, Molds and Castings Made Easy"(CER627)-Ian Anderson
"For many artists, plaster and slip-casting are mysterious and inaccessible. This workshop will remove that mystery. Through hands-on tasks, students will learn to use plaster, make a plaster mold, make their own casting slip, and slip cast an object. Emphasis is given towards practical, tangible knowledge of these materials and processes. All levels welcome. Students are asked to bring an item to cast."
Ian Anderson is a full-time studio artist living in Philadelphia. He received his undergraduate degrees from the University of Virginia, and a MFA from the Univesity of Nebraska-Lincoln. His ceramic design work is sold at the Museum of Arts and Design in NY, the Signature Shop & Gallery in Atlanta, and the Clay Studio in Philadelphia. He has been using molds and slip casting for 5 years and has what he calls "minor expertise" in a variety of printmaking techniques used in clay. You can see his work at www.ianworks.com"
