JEWELRY TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO CERAMICS | Nuria Soley
13-14-15-16-17 March 2019
The main goal of this course is to learn the basics of metal work for creating ceramic jewelry, particularly porcelain. The course is essentially practical, based on experimentation with the main basic techniques of jewelry: measurements and marking, perforated internal and external, filing and polishing, firing, pickling, welding, etc. In a complementary way, some pieces of porcelain will be processed in order to practice assembly and final finishes. During the course, theoretical aspects on the characteristics and type of ceramic materials and metals will also be provided.
The workshop
Will be 5 days where you will face different practical exercises such as the creation of strips, wires and plates of metal, the learning of welding with silver, perforated, polishing, sanding, realization of the pieces in porcelain designed and fired and finally, assembled with the metal parts. The materials will be provided and each student will have his work table with the necessary equipment. Everyone can take home not only their knowledge but also their finished works.

Jewelry in porcelain, Jasper technique
The suggestive technique of Jasper has an important role in the creative processes for those who want to produce objects that are pleasant to the touch, and with a beautiful and vibrant for the perception of color. A complex technique that requires only accuracy in the process and the desire to create designs using color. To make the most of the potential of this technique, the students will perform different exercises to get to know their fragility, strength and refinement applied to the jewels. The whole process and derivations can be applied beyond, in furnishing objects, sculptures, small series of utilitarian or decorative objects.
Progam: - Totally practical lessons with a theoretical chapter dedicated to the artists who used ceramics to create jewels. - Preparation of colored slip and body porcelain, recipe and percentages. Creation of organic, geometric or abstract motifs directly on the body porcelain through: - Jasper decomposition methods. - Methods of construction with small tiles, use of colored slip. - How to apply on jewelry molds avoiding cracks and deformations. - Finishing and corrections after biscuit firing. - Methods of positioning of the pieces for high firing. Special features to avoid deformation and breakage. - Finishing and corrections after last firing. - Design for jewelry composition.Teacher: Martha Pachon

THE MAGIC OF COLORS IN TRANSLUCENT PORCELAIN | Martha Pachon
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 exquisite beauty highlighted by translucency. The evocative techniques presented in this course will have an important role in the creative process for those who want to build and draw with the light and color in porcelain.
We will use the slip porcelain with and without the use of molds. And above all, the participants will be able to dominate the most important aspects of the porcelain of great thinness: the drying, the impediment of the deformation and the firing.
The 20-hour workshop lasts from 9.00 to 17.00 on Friday and Saturday and from 9.00 to 16.00 on Sunday.

Thousand bubbles
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
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
