BALTIMORE CLAYWORKS WORKSHOP

THE ART OF THE RELIQUARY

Saturday, November 6 |10 am - 4 pm
Sunday, November 7 |10 am - 4pm
Fee: $200 members, $220 non-members

rel·i·quar·y: a container or shrine where relics or other precious objects are kept

In this hands-on workshop students will use personal imagery to create a precious object from porcelain and a reliquary to house it. Niches, doorways and windows will be used to alternately hide and reveal inner treasures. The incorporation of engraved glass panels, metal and found objects will also be explored in this energetic two-day workshop.
Basic handbuilding techniques will be utilized as well as mark making and carving to help develop surface and narrative. The layering of glazes, slips, stains and oxides to achieve weathered antique surfaces in cone six oxidation firing will be shared, along with glaze recipes.
Students will also learn about etching text on glass and metal, incorporating metal into fired works, types of glues and their uses, no-fail hanging methods for wall works and professional development of their art practice.

Please bring to class 2-3 items of personal significance to you and a willingness to explore.

Prerequisite: All levels welcome.

ACDCPC: Mid-Atlantic Ceramic Sculpture from the District of Columbia to Philadelphia County and Beyond

This exhibition will feature the work of thirteen sculptors. In pieces ranging from monumental statements to intimately scaled personal icons, the artists are regional, and some are international in origin, growing up in places such as Japan, Italy, and our own Hawaii. Artists indigenous to the region found inspiration in the Far East, the American Deep South, the South Pacific, and South America. Yet for all participants, iconography is strongly communicated through their imagery. The nature of the medium, clay, allows for every possible interpretation: It can appear as wood, metal, and sometimes speaks to its most basic form: mud.

According to independent curator, Cheryl Harper, “Of all mediums an artist can choose, clay allows for the widest range of expression. It can be hollow or solid, a basis for bronze casting, a wall piece or drawing, any scale, figurative or abstract, outdoors or indoors. I sought a variety of expression and intention. From my search, I found that the studio environment was more collaborative in Washington and affected outcomes, and in Philadelphia, the artists work mostly in isolation, some not showing monumental scaled pieces for years. Two of the artists, Syd Carpenter (Philadelphia) and T. Rachelle Ellis (Washington, D.C), found inspiration in African American tenant farms in the South with very different resolutions. As we lead up to a major conference on clay in Philadelphia, in 2010, I wanted to present our suburban community an interesting dialog in sculpture.” Artists include: Margaret Boozer, Laurel Lukaszewski, Novie Trump, and T. Rachelle Ellis from Washington, D.C.; Syd Carpenter, Lindsay Feuer, Carla Lombardi, Sumi Maeshimi, and Don Nakamura from Philadelphia; Dale Shuffler, Carla Lombardi, and Etta Winigrad from Chester County; Ruth Borgenicht from Southern New Jersey; and Laura Jean McLaughlin from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
