CREATIVE MOLDING TECHNIQUE | Simon Zsolt József
€450.00
26-27-28-29 November 2021
The aim of the course is to understand the opportunities to model the forms inherent in molding errors. We will learn how to prepare a multi-part plaster molding form, which allows us to model the internal and external shapes of the final object.
The artist will make a presentation of his works, which will allow to observe and understand this special molding procedure. The second half of the screening will demonstrate the creation of a specific object from the beginning to the final stage.
Participants will start working on one of Zsolt’s floral objects, through an individual consultation, and later, they will create a different shape, allowing learning from each other’s work. From the preparation of the plaster, the finishing, sawing, sanding and assembly of the plaster form will follow until the porcelain casting.

IMMEDIATE TRANSPARENCIES | Martha Pachon
Liquid porcelain without use of the mold and in sigle firing
Transparency is one of the most important qualities of porcelain and usually requires a prolonged, precise and very accurate processing to obtain a piece of fine beauty highlighted by the translucency of the light. This course allows you to develop two simple and immediate techniques that will facilitate and strengthen creativity to develop many projects without the use of large resources and experience in the field of porcelain.
We will use the slip porcelain without the use of molds and single-firing and the two techniques, one for objects with organic shapes and another for objects with geometric shapes and more precise.
The 14-hour workshop lasts from 9.00 to 17.00 on Saturday and from 9.00 to 16.00 on Sunday.

Ceramic maze: the glazes
i rivestimenti, l’applicazione facile, la decorazione e la cottura della ceramica
Il corso si prefigge di informare sui modi e le tecniche che sono alla base del processo ceramico per quanto riguarda la smaltatura e la decorazione a bassa temperatura.
Durante il corso saranno finite esperienze sui vari metodi di smaltatura ponendo particolare attenzione alla smaltatura a pennello con l’ausilio di particolari veicoli che ne consentono la migliore applicazione. Verranno presentate le cause alla base dei principali effetti ottenibili con i rivestimenti che saranno realizzate su supporti in argilla, già cotti, forniti dall’organizzazione: terracotta, terraglia tenera, terracotta di argilla da gres e semirefrattaria da Raku.
Sarà dato spazio anche al rapporto fondamentale degli smalti con i supporti e la loro preventiva miglior cottura a biscotto. 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.
PROGRAMMA: esercizi personali di smaltatura: a pennello, ad aspersione, ad immersione – esercizi di decorazione con i colori sottovernice e i colori soprasmalto – smalti a rilievo – dimostrazione di smaltatura a spruzzo e a secco – Cottura delle prove – a domanda lezioni sulla chimica e tecnologia degli smalti.
Le forme saranno realizzate seguendo le indicazioni del docente, saranno cotte e consegnate entro i tempi del corso stesso. Il corso di 14 ore inizia alle ore 9.00 del sabato e termina alle ore 16.00 della domenica.

Prehistoric firings
Per chi ama i modi naturali e vede nella ceramica le varietà espressive che questi possono dare. Porterete tre forme essiccate (non cotte) di misura massima singola cm 20 (altezza) x 10 x 10 a spessore max mm7 realizzate in argille bianche da Raku. Le superfici delle forme potranno essere levigate a pressione ma non ingobbiate. Faremo esperienza di applicazione di argille su argille, di smalti in monocottura e di fiammature con cottura a legna che con la sua casualità ci mostrerà giochi infiniti di trasparenze, neri e lustri.
Programma: applicazione sulle vostre forme secche di ingobbi del genere Terra Sigillata, sali metallici, vernici e smalti – cottura notturna a biscotto – allestimento del fuoco e inserimento delle forme – cottura a legna – estrazione delle forme a mezza e fine cottura – lezioni di tecnologia a domanda.
Le forme saranno realizzate seguendo le indicazioni del docente, saranno cotte e consegnate entro i tempi del corso stesso. Il corso di 14 ore inizia alle ore 9.00 del sabato e termina alle ore 16.00 della domenica. Docente: Maestro Giovanni Cimatti
