SWEET RAKU WITH LUSTRES | Giovanni Cimatti

08-09 June 2024

Sweet Raku is an idea that Giovanni Cimatti came up with in the late 1990s and which differs from so-called Raku in that it has reduced fumigation and the use of chamotte-free clays.

Giovanni Cimatti’s sweet raku in some of its declinations.
During the course, forms will be made that simultaneously and in a single firing will have the orange colour of ‘sealed earths’, the transparencies of copper and non-copper crystallines, the lustres in copper reduction in gas kiln firing and the black of Raku smoke.

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.

The 14-hour course starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. on Saturday and starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

    FULL IMMERSION IN THE MULTICOLORED PORCELAIN | Martha Pachon

    12-13-14 July 2019

    From Jasper to Nerikomi

    One of the finest qualities of porcelain is its sensuality to the touch, plus the surface can be enriched with vibrant colors or sharp contrasts of black and white. There are ancient and complex techniques of the "Neriage" family which, with a modern twist, allow to express, through many aesthetic solutions, from a jewel, a vase, a sculpture, an object, to a complex installation. Among the constructive techniques of colored body porcelain, by hand and with mold will be the contemporary revisiting of: L'Agata, Jasper, Zebra, Nerikomi, Mosaico with composite tiles and Mishima.

    To take full advantage of the potential of these techniques, all the possible exercises will be carried out to get to know their strength and refinement. In addition, the realization of all the techniques will be followed by the tricks to avoid problems, breakages or deformations, reaching the maximum of beauty in the colors.

    The 20-hour workshop lasts from 9.00 to 17.00 on Friday and Saturday and from 9.00 to 16.00 on Sunday.
