PAPER GLAZE, LO SMALTO FELICE | Giovanni Cimatti
Dopo la rivoluzione della tecnica Paper Clay si può intuire che la strada è aperta a nuove contaminazioni.
Giovanni Cimatti ha fatto una ricerca basata sulla possibilità di inserire fibre all'interno di rivestimenti vetrosi e questo è il primo risultato del quale vuole farvi partecipi.
Si tratta di smalto contenente fibre di carta e per questo si possono fare applicazioni a forte rilievo; in questo caso solo con composizioni di vetri ad elevata viscosità. La tecnica è aperta a continui sviluppi e a diverse temperature. Durante il corso verranno fatte esperienze di applicazione di una formula già sviluppata che sarà possibile colorare e applicare su supporti semplici che verranno realizzati la mattina del sabato e che essiccheranno durante la pausa pranzo.Il corso di 14 ore inizia alle ore 9.00 e termina alle ore 17:00 del sabato e inizia alle ore 9:00 e termina alle ore 16.00 della domenica.
Compreso nel corso:14 ore di docenza | i materiali necessari allo svolgimento del corso | le cotture | nr. 2 pasti brunch (colazione e pranzo) | una scatola omaggio (con campionatura dei materiali utilizzati durante il corso)

CERAMIC MAZE: THE GLAZES | Vilma Bosi
Quanta acqua si deve aggiungere nella preparazione dello smalto? Come si deve procedere per fare una buona applicazione? In questo corso vogliamo introdurvi alla smaltatura dei manufatti ceramici fornendo alcune competenze specifiche di base. Partiremo dalla conoscenza dei prodotti (Smalti, Cristalline, Colori, etc.) con le loro peculiarità, inizieremo da come si dove procedere nella loro preparazione e termineremo con la possibilità di provare le principali tecniche di smaltatura e con una guida alla cottura ceramica.
In particolare tratteremo l’applicazione per immersione, per spruzzatura con aerografo e la smaltatura a pennello con l'ausilio di particolari veicoli che consentono una migliore applicazione. Verranno presentati i passaggi necessari per ottenere effetti nei rivestimenti anche con applicazioni in più strati che saranno realizzati su supporti in argilla, già cotti, forniti dall'organizzazione: terracotta, terraglia tenera, terracotta di argilla da gres e semirefrattaria da Raku.
Ed infine saranno affrontati anche i difetti che si riscontrano nella smaltatura e a questo proposito è possibile portare eventuali lavori personali finiti sulle cui problematiche sarà possibile svolgere una interessante lezione.

The artist and teacher Paolo Iori will present in an effective, simple and creative form a program for the production of multi-part molds for casting and pressure molding. It will appear from the idea and from a personal project to develop a model that will be analyzed in order to later realize the own mold.
Paolo Iori Paolo Iori was trained in Sesto Fiorentino with the masters Bruschi and Gigli, who gave them the opportunity to learn precise and elaborate forming techniques, for the manufacture of plaster models and molds. In parallel Iori develops his personal artistic path, which began in London and continued with exhibitions in Japan, Belgium and Italy. He currently works in Belgium and works with artists, art schools for training courses, and designers for creating prototypes on very specific projects.

IL RAKU DOLCE | Giovanni Cimatti
Il Raku Dolce è un'idea che Giovanni Cimatti ha avuto alla fine degli anni 90' e che si distingue dal Raku cosiddetto per la ridotta fumigazione e l'impiego di argille senza chamotte.
Queste diversità consentono un maggior ordine e pulizia del sistema Raku: Si estraggono le forme ad una temperatura più bassa, si riduce al minimo il fumo prodotto e le forme non devono essere quasi mai pulite. Anche le stesse forme possono avere un'ottima finitura delle superfici ed avere un'integrità molto elevata.
A tutto questo si associa la bella ricerca che può essere fatta di argille che trattate forniscono ingobbi e patine del genere Terre sigillate aretine.
Infine il fondamentale aspetto molto contemporaneo, per il rispetto ambientale, che prevede la possibilità di eseguire le forme a Raku Dolce con ingobbi e smalti applicati su terra secca in una sola cottura (monocottura). Giovanni Cimatti porterà in uso al corso il personale forno a gas e tratterà degli aspetti legati alle cotture Raku in generale.
Durante il corso verranno fatte esperienze di applicazione di una formula già sviluppata che sarà possibile colorare e applicare su supporti semplici che verranno realizzati la mattina del sabato e che essiccheranno durante la pausa pranzo.Il corso di 14 ore inizia alle ore 9.00 e termina alle ore 17:00 del sabato e inizia alle ore 9:00 e termina alle ore 16.00 della domenica.

MY FUNNY GLAZES | Maite Larena
When we approach ceramic glazes, the first impression is of immensity ... where do I start? What are the raw materials? Which glazes will fit my pieces? The development of custom glazes is particularly attractive to most potters. In this course, following a simple methodology, working methods will be taught to plan the development of glazes and obtain a large quantity of them. In this way we will expand the development of colouring, textures, applications and aesthetic results applicable to the author's ceramics. A laboratory for testing ceramic glazes for 1240-60 ° C is proposed, both for firing in an electric kiln and in a gas kiln. An extensive documentation will be provided, which will be examined in presentations and theoretical speeches interspersed with the work of the workshop, as well as computerized archiving systems for ceramic recipes.
Maite Larena Graduated in chemistry at the University of Valencia, Spain and self-taught ceramist. Larena's career is divided between artistic and technical work. In addition to her personal and collective exhibitions with the series of special glazed containers; Maite has been invited to several international conferences as a highly experienced researcher in the field of ceramic glazes and stains. He has published 11 specialized articles on glaze coverings and developed 6 projects subsidized by the Spanish government on ceramic research. And for several years he is the head of the research, development and production of glazes and stains of PRODESCO S.L. and of AICE-ITC, Research Association of Spanish Ceramics Industries. In the field of teaching, for many years, she was professor of the Department of Materials and Ceramic Technology of the Scuola Superiore d'Arte de Manises, Spain.
