A Ceramic Workshop Presented by Ceramic Artist Noel Bailey October 2-3, 9am-4pm Lecture and slideshow October 3, 4-5pm
Watch simple thrown forms emerge into fluid, organic, and elegant wares during this two-day demonstration workshop with Noel Bailey. We'll investigate the intimate details of mugs, explore asymmetry in serving platters and bowls, and dive into the intricacies of teapots. We'll use a framework of function to inform our discussions of design. We'll jump into the making process with coil-and-pinch additions, carving and darting subtractions, and hand-built handles. We'll persuade round forms into ovals, carve feet and lips, impress linear stamps into undulating curves, all while considering how influences, ideas, and identity are woven into a body of work.
Artist Statement
I am a potter. I am in love with the material and the process. My practice and ideas evolve through making. My work is strongly influenced by the natural environment that I live and play in, with the various forms and processes associated with water composing a central, resounding theme. I am drawn to serene, fluid, and graceful forms, which I find abundant in vertical ice and water-carved rock. What fascinates me are the rhythms of freeze and flux, ebb and flow, erosion and deposition. My process engages these transformational cycles; the resulting dynamic surfaces convey a narrative of movement and change.
