Course focusing on textures and coloured clays.

This course includes a practical and a theoretical part. The teacher Nathalie Doyen will teach a technique inspired by nature (such as lichens or molluscs adhering to a rock) and through repetitive gestures will lead the participants to a meditative concentration necessary to develop wonderful textures. During this course, the tactile qualities and velvety colours of clay will be examined. Participants will have the opportunity to make both a sample and small objects by practising the technique of artist and teacher Nathalie Doyen.
The lessons are totally practical in addition to a theoretical chapter, firing and materials and a DPF (Frequently Asked Questions) session.

    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

    Ceramic maze: the glazes

    17 and 18 February 2018

    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.
