During this course Patty Wouters will explain alternative firing techniques like saggar firing and other smoke firing techniques. Participants will explore the use of different kinds of clay, the difference in using (coloured) engobes, burnishing and the use of terra sigillata in combination with sulfates as colourants. There will be many possibilities for participants to explore and experiment with combining different techniques.
COURSE CONTENT
1. Various saggar firing possibilities and the difference if using various temperatures.
2. The difference between saggar firing and other smoke firing techniques.
3. Which clays can be used? How different are the results using different clays and firings at different temperatures?
4. The difference between burnished and unburnished ceramic work.
5. What kind of saggars can be used? How can you build your own saggar?
6. The use of sulfates and/or coloured engobes.
7. What kind of combustibles can be used?
8. How can you create special effects?
Participants should bring some tiles and/or ceramic pieces - 2 or 3 small (max 15 cm) bisqued pieces and maybe 5 bisqued tiles (12 x 12 cm) made in the clay you usually use at home.
You will also make more pieces here for raw clay working.
Ezen a tanfolyamon Patty Wouters olyan alternatív égetési technikákat ismertet, mint a saggar égetés és más redukciós technikák. A résztvevők megismerkednek a különböző agyagfajták, a színes engóbok és a terra sigillata szulfátokkal kombinált színezőanyagok használatával. Az alkotóknak számos lehetőségük lesz arra, hogy felfedezzék és kikísérletezzék a különböző technikák kombinálását.
A TANFOLYAM TARTALMA
1. Különböző saggar égetések és más-más hőmérsékletek használatának eltérései
2. A saggar égetés és más redukciós technikák közötti különbség
3. Milyen agyagok használhatók? Mennyire eltérőek az eredmények különböző agyagok használata és különböző hőmérsékleten történő égetések esetén?
4. Az égetett és az égetetlen kerámiamunkák közötti különbség
5. Milyen saggar-ok használhatók? Hogyan lehet saját saggar-t készíteni?
6. A szulfátok és/vagy színes engóbok használata
7. Milyen éghető anyagokat lehet használni?
8. Hogyan lehet különleges effekteket létrehozni?
A résztvevők hozzanak magukkal néhány zsengélt csempelapot vagy kerámia tárgyat - 2-3 kisebb (max. 15cm) zsengélt darabok és 5 darab (12x12cm) zsengélt lapok, olyan agyagból, melyből otthon is dolgoznak.
A kurzus időtartama alatt is lesz tárgykészítésre lehetőség nyers agyagból.
Experiment with saggar firing in combination with terra sigillata and the use of metal sulphates as colorants. During this workshop participants will explore different possibilities of saggar firing and some other alternative smoke firing techniques.
Patty will talk about smoke-firing and describe the relationship between form and smoke. She will introduce the different techniques involved with long firings (sawdust kiln, pitfiring and saggar firing) and fast firings (open fire with newspaper and sawdust).
Participants will decorate their own pieces using techniques such as resists, colorants (sulphates) and burnishing plus terra sigillata. Firings will include saggar and other alternative techniques.
Patty Wouters is an internationally recognised ceramic artist living in the Flanders region of Belgium. She studied graphics and ceramics at art schools in Antwerp and Hasselt (Belgium) and Wolverhampton University in the UK. She participated in numerous ceramic workshops with well-known ceramists like Takeshi Yasuda, Antonia Salmon, David Miller, Dave Roberts, Sasha Wardell, Steve Mattison, Peter Lane, and many others.
She is a member of the International Academy of Ceramics (AIC-IAC) and Design Flanders.
Kísérletezés a saggar égetéssel, a terra sigillata és a fémszulfátok színezőanyagként való felhasználásával. A workshop során a résztvevők felfedezik a saggar égetés különböző lehetőségeit és néhány más alternatív redukciós technikát.
Patty beszélni fog a redukcióról, ismerteti a forma és a redukció közötti kapcsolatot. Bemutatja a hosszú égetések (fűrészporos kemence, gödörégetés és saggar égetés) és a gyors égetések (nyílt tűz újságpapírral és fűrészporral) különböző technikáit.
Patty Wouters nemzetközileg elismert keramikusművész, Belgiumban él. Grafikát és kerámiát tanult Antwerpenben és Hasseltben (Belgium), valamint az angliai Wolverhamptoni Egyetemen. Számos kerámia workshopon vett részt olyan neves keramikusoknál, mint Takeshi Yasuda, Antonia Salmon, David Miller, Dave Roberts, Sasha Wardell, Steve Mattison, Peter Lane és sokan mások.
Tagja a Nemzetközi Kerámia Akadémiának (AIC-IAC) és a Design Flandersnek.
