Liquid porcelain workshop
Looking for new ideas for working liquid porcelain in a very creative way without using molds? Liquid porcelain is always very beautiful but it’s necessary to use molds, and complex slip casting techniques are needed, also, opening the molds avoiding breakage and deformation of the pieces and usually, it limit creativity.
It would say that manual construction, an ancient production technique that involves the use of hands, fingers and simple tools, is not suitable for liquid porcelain. So that only manual construction can be implemented; this complete and complex course brings together various unconventional techniques using different types of liquid porcelain for the construction of sculptures and both decorative and utilitarian objects in small series.
We would face all the possible construction means without the use of molds, the correct drying, deformations, use of color, the possibility of creating small glazed series, corrections in the event of breakage and correct firing.
The 35-hour workshop lasts from 9.00 to 17.00 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 9.00 to 16.00 on Sunday.
Included in the Workshop cost:

Transparency is one of the most important qualities of porcelain and usually, requires a prolonged, precise and very accurate processing to obtain a fine beauty piece highlighted by the translucenty. This course allows you to develop two simple and immediate techniques that will facilitate and strengthen creativity to develop many projects without the use of large resources and experience in the field of porcelain techniques. We will use slip porcelain without the use of molds and with a single-firing.
PROGRAM: Totally practical lessons, preparation of the material and basic forms. Use of slip porcelain and construction with two totally different techniques. Surface treatment, controlled drying and finishing. Methods to avoid deformation and breakage during the process and all the special features of the specific firing for this technique. Recover broken complex variations of the techniques and the surface with the use of color introduced into the slip the porcelain. Production of pieces to project in small series for use or decoration. pieces or cracks with specific recipe. Finally, more co.

Ceramic maze: the clays
la scelta, le superfici e la cottura delle terre
Fare ceramica è una delle arti più affascinanti, ma occorre avere ben chiare alcune regole e metodologie perchè l’autodidattica è un approccio possibile, ma si può perdere tempo e danaro.
La scelta del tipo di argilla da impiegare nella produzione delle forme è di basilareimportanza e da questa dipendono tutte le altre come la foggiatura, gli smalti e la temperatura ottimale di cottura. Si può scegliere a monte quale metodologia impiegare, ma questo non toglie che la conoscenza delle argille e quindi il loro carattere è assolutamente fondamentale.
Durante il corso avrete l’opportunità di toccare una vasta gamma di argille da cui poter far discendere le vostre scelte future. Il corso si limita quindi alla produzione in libertà di esperienze costruttive, tattili e di cottura sempre sotto la guida del docente.
PROGRAMMA: esercizi personali con vari tipi di argilla con e senza inerti sia per bassa che alta temperatura a colombino, lastra e a stampo – finiture possibili durante le varie fasi di asciugatura – ritiri e plasticità – la deformazione delle forme e il suo controllo – Cottura di alcune esperienze a bassa ad alta temperatura. Lezioni di tecnologia ceramica -dimostrazione di foggiatura a colaggio.
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

LA SINTERRACOTTA | Giovanni Cimatti
Monocottura con gres a partire da 1050 gradi
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.
Compreso nel corso:14 ore di docenza | i materiali necessari allo svolgimento del corso | le cotture | nr. 2 pasti brunch (colazione e pranzo) | una scatola omaggio (con campionatura dei materiali utilizzati durante il corso)

A sea of melted glass
A Faenza, sul finire degli anni 60′, Guerrino Tramonti pratica una tecnica ceramica pittorica denominata “A grosso spessore”. Si tratta di una ceramica che prevede la formazione di uno spessore alto di vetro liquido (cristallina) che allaga entro una superficie piana definita da una bordatura.
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
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
