    Durante il corso saranno fatte esperienze con l’inserimento di smalti, ingobbi, fritte colorate, vetri da vetraria e fili metallici. Saranno impiagate anche le “terre sigillate” che saranno applicate sulle cornici a formare rugginose e brillanti cortecce. Le forme in argilla già biscottata saranno fornite dall’organizzazione.

    Programma: Applicazione su biscotto di ingobbi naturali del genere terra sigillata – applicazione al centro delle forme di smalti, vetri in frammenti ecc e copertura di vernice trasparente o colorata in rame con varie tecniche di miscelazione – cottura notturna – descrizione dei prodotti usati – esempio di preparazione di una terra sigillata – nelle foto alcuni esempi di opere realizzate da G. Cimatti

    Thousand bubbles

    10 and 11 March 2018

    Una delle premesse in campo ceramico, fondamento della didattica e della tecnologia stabilisce che non vi devono essere bolle di aria negli impasti ceramici ma...

    E' anche vero che la presenza di bolle e la stessa porosità delle argille favorisce l'isolamento termico, l'essiccazione e la leggerezza. Con impasti a struttura spugnosa si ottengono forme facilmente lavorabili a secco/crudo per mezzo del taglio, incisione o abrasione, una lavorabilità a biscotto simile a quella dell'osso di seppia, durezza inaspettata dopo la cottura finale e il peso vicino a quello dei poliuretani espansi.

    Da questa scelta parte la possibilità di creare forme legate in particolare al campo della scultura dove i problemi dello svuotamento delle forme viene superato velocizzando le cotture. Infine e in relazione alla dimensione delle microbolle inserite sarà possibile anche l'applicazione di patine, ingobbi  e rivestimenti anche vetrosi.

    Programma: metodi di realizzazione di schiume e la loro introduzione nelle argille - colatura della schiuma argillosa - essiccamento - scultura a secco crudo per taglio/incisione - cottura ad alta temperatura in forno elettrico - sfornata - applicazione di rivestimento tipo smalto oro - cottura a media temperatura - lezioni di tecnologia ceramica.  Per motivi di tempo e aumentare l'esperienza sulla tecnica saranno forniti ai partecipanti anche alcuni blocchetti di argilla porosa già essiccati.

    Il corso di 14 ore dura dalle ore 9.00 alle ore 17:00 del sabato e dalle ore 9:00 alle ore 16.00 della domenica. Docente: Maestro Giovanni Cimatti Scarica il modulo di iscrizione in formato pdf Scarica il volantino in formato pdf
