LA SINTERRACOTTA | Giovanni Cimatti
30-31 March 2019
Una buona ceramica si distingue non solo per come è rivestita e la sua intrinseca arte ma sopratutto per il suo corpo che è forte e compatto quando è realizzata in gres. Oggi è possibile utilizzare un innovativo gres bianco, anche senza raggiungere la faticosa e costosa alta temperatura, ed avere la sinterizzazione di questa argilla in tutti i tipi di forni per ceramica.
Durante il corso faremo anche esperienza di come sia possibile ridurre ulteriormente i costi facendo una cottura unica di argilla e smalti che viene infatti definita monocottura. Useremo un'argilla plastica che rende facile modellare qualsiasi tipo di forma e particolari medium per l'applicazione a pennello di rivestimenti che saranno campiti anche con l'impiego di maschere adesive. Sara possibile infine anche applicare, in seconda cottura a 900 gradi, un simpatico e innovativo smalto oro.
Il corso di 14 ore inizia alle ore 9.00 e termina alle ore 17:00 del sabato e inizia alle ore 9:00 e termina alle ore 16.00 della domenica.

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 pdfExtraordinary japanese constructions with Kazuko Uga

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.
