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.

CERAMIC MAZE: THE GLAZES | Vilma Bosi

02-03 Marzo 2019

Imparare a lavorare con gli smalti, l'applicazione facile, la decorazione e la cottura della ceramica.

Quanta acqua si deve aggiungere nella preparazione dello smalto? Come si deve procedere per fare una buona applicazione? In questo corso vogliamo introdurvi alla smaltatura dei manufatti ceramici fornendo alcune competenze specifiche di base. Partiremo dalla conoscenza dei prodotti (Smalti, Cristalline, Colori, etc.) con le loro peculiarità, inizieremo da come si dove procedere nella loro preparazione e termineremo con la possibilità di provare le principali tecniche di smaltatura e con una guida alla cottura ceramica.

In particolare tratteremo l’applicazione per immersione, per spruzzatura con aerografo e la smaltatura a pennello con l'ausilio di particolari veicoli che consentono una migliore applicazione. Verranno presentati i passaggi necessari per ottenere effetti nei rivestimenti anche con applicazioni in più strati che saranno realizzati su supporti in argilla, già cotti, forniti dall'organizzazione: terracotta, terraglia tenera, terracotta di argilla da gres e semirefrattaria da Raku.

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.

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)
