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.

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.
