LOW-TEMPERATURE GLAZES, CHEMISTRY AND FORMULATIONS | Claudio Gardenghi
In this particular course, you will learn how to formulate or modify the aesthetics of lowtemperature glazes. Low-temperature ceramic objects often need a "cover". which is called a glaze, required to make the ceramic object water-resistant and aesthetically conform to what is desired. What is needed to make a glaze? What frits and raw materials to combine to make it? How to modify a ready-made glaze? And how to proceed from test to test to achieve the desired effect? The teacher Claudio Gardenghi, an expert with over forty years of experience in some of the most important ceramic colour factories, will introduce participants to the world of lowtemperature glazes, also giving space for some personal research. In fact, thanks to the small number of participants, it will be possible both to work on bases provided by the organisation and to analyse, replicate or correct glazes deriving from participants' own research ("as long as they are suitable for low temperature"). All results will then be presented and shared with the class.
Claudio Gardenghi Graduated in Technological Education at the Art Institute for Ceramics 'G. Ballardini' in Faenza. During his working activity, he has developed collaborations with several Ceramic Colour Factories, including Colorobbia and Cover, as well as important ceramic industries such as Cooperativa Ceramica di Imola, La Faenza and Cerdomus. Over the years, he has been able to expand his experience in countless consulting assignments in different countries around the world )Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, China, South Africa and Iran.
The 32-hour workshop lasts from 9.00 to 17.00 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 9.00 to 13.00 on Sunday.

CRAZY CRETIC GLAZES | Giovanni Cimatti
An innovative technique for the application of ceramic glazes.
Giovanni Cimatti presents, as a preview at Ceramics, one of his innovations in the application of all glazes, at any temperature and on all single-fired clays. The method involves the use of any commercial and non-commercial glaze that is transformed into a plastic sheet. These glaze films can be cut out and applied to fresh plastic clays that will then receive all the variations in use in the mould moulding process. During the course, particular research will be done on the fragmentation of glazes that will then be pressed by including them in the Faenze clay.
Giovanni Cimatti Giovanni Cimatti was a teacher at the Art Institute in Siena, director of the 'T. Minardi' School of Drawing and Plastic Art in Faenza and teacher at the State Art Institute for Ceramics in Faenza. He began his artistic activity in the 1970s, developing a personal research on the relationship between form and surface by reworking various techniques such as sangam clay decorations, raku, decalcomania, and terra sigillata, and for years he has also been interested in high temperature. He has been invited to important international ceramic art exhibitions, has held solo exhibitions by invitation in Belgium, Japan, Holland, Korea and Switzerland and has participated in cultural exchanges in France, Japan and Germany. He has had solo exhibitions: at the Museum of Contemporary Art at Kyungshung University in Pusan, Korea, at the Ceratekno Gallery in Toki City, Japan, and at the Museo Civico Archeologico in Bergamo.
