Realisation of Artworks

Service for Artists who want to create artworks.

The Faenza Art Ceramic Center is familiar with the many complexities involved in the creation of ceramic works: from large dimensions, to high temperature, glaze, decoration, firing, etc. Nothing is taken for granted or totally predictable and each process requires great experience and knowledge of materials. If you are an artist and need to create works of art that due to technique, knowledge of materials, space or availability of tools you are unable to complete, the Faenza Art Ceramic Center can do it for you.

How we work:
    • Sending of the project by the artist and phone call to determine the work;
    • Selection by the FACC of the most suitable technician(s) to carry out the project;
    • Meeting between the FACC technician(s) and the artist. If a physical meeting is not possible, video call; During the meeting the technician(s) will present to the artist the various aspects of the realisation of the work (materials - taking into account the artist's needs and the use that will be made of the work, time - taking into account all the phases of the realisation of a work, possible alternative solutions if the artist's initial idea is considered unfeasible);
    • Agreement on the project between the technician(s) and the Artist;
    • Faenza Art Ceramic Center sends the estimate to the artist;
    • If the artist accepts the estimate, the project will begin;
    • Free sampling of materials (clays and glazes) as per the final work by the FACC; Before proceeding with the realisation of the work, the technicians will evaluate the samples together with the artist;
    • Payment of a deposit by the artist according to the agreements between FACC and Artist;
    • Realisation of the work by the FACC technician(s);
    • The artist may check the progress of the work cyclically;
    • End of the project;
    • Packaging and Delivery of the work (at the expense of the FACC only if included in the estimate);
    • Installation of the work (at the expense of the FACC only if included in the estimate);
    • Payment of the balance by the artist.

We strongly believe in the work of artists and as FACC we want to provide all the skills and equipment that our international centre can offer to carry out your projects.

Ceramic&Colours Award

III Edition - 2020

“Crystalline glaze, the charm of the crystals”

The Faenza Art Ceramic Center announces the third edition of the “Ceramic&Colours Award”, a ceramic competition with the aim of promoting and enhancing the research in the field of ceramic glazes for the finishing of ceramic objects.

For 2020 edition the “Crystalline glaze” effect has been selected.

Description It is a kind of finishing of ceramic glass surfaces that can be developed both at high and low temperature, whose main characteristic is the formation of macro crystals that can be easily seen with naked eyes. All matt or satin surfaces, that in many cases can turn out because of a devitrification of the glazes during the cooling process, are therefore excluded from the competition. We would like to highlight that because of the technical nature of the competition, the technical committee will mainly take into account the artworks that will better develop the potential of this theme and its complexity: the size of the crystals, chromatism and chemical nature of the crystallization caused by zinc, molybdenum, vanadium, wolfram, titanium, lithium, etc.

Participation The Award is open to everybody, with no restrictions concerning age, gender, nationality or else. Each competitor may present only one work.

Procedures and deadlines for application The participation to the Competition is free. Applications must be submitted to the Faenza Art Ceramic Center NO LATER THAN 30/09/2020 the following documents are necessary: - Application form filled in. - 2 high resolution digital photos by email, having a good quality and an homogeneous background. - A data sheet with the relevant descriptions of the work including (otherwise the application will be considered invalid) the measures, the materials used and info on the firing process. - A short CV of the artist - A document (or a self-certification) where the artists declare that the works belong to them.

LA SINTERRACOTTA | Giovanni Cimatti

30-31 March 2019

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.

IMMEDIATE TRANSPARENCIES | Martha Pachon

11-12 May 2019

Liquid porcelain without use of the mold and in sigle firing

Transparency is one of the most important qualities of porcelain and usually requires a prolonged, precise and very accurate processing to obtain a piece of fine beauty highlighted by the translucency of the light. 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.

We will use the slip porcelain without the use of molds and single-firing and the two techniques, one for objects with organic shapes and another for objects with geometric shapes and more precise.

The 14-hour workshop lasts from 9.00 to 17.00 on Saturday and from 9.00 to 16.00 on Sunday.

490.00

21-22-23 June 2019

To reproduce a shape for large or small productions, but also to create unique objects starting from a mold for collecting or to print by hand, simplifying the manufacturing processes; is the dream of many potters. The artist and teacher Paolo Iori will present in an effective, simple and creative form a program for the production of multi-part molds for casting and pressure molding. It will appear from the idea and from a personal project to develop a model that will be analyzed in order to later realize the own mold.

Paolo Iori Paolo Iori was trained in Sesto Fiorentino with the masters Bruschi and Gigli, who gave them the opportunity to learn precise and elaborate forming techniques, for the manufacture of plaster models and molds. In parallel Iori develops his personal artistic path, which began in London and continued with exhibitions in Japan, Belgium and Italy. He currently works in Belgium and works with artists, art schools for training courses, and designers for creating prototypes on very specific projects. Among them, the "École supérieur des arts visuels" of the Cambre in Brussels, the Academie Royale des beaux arts in Brussels, and the "Center culturelle" in Andenne, "Keramis" at the Louviere.

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