CONCEPT Have the opportunity to get deep CONCEPT
CONCEPT Serving dishes contain and serve.
These vessels hold our favorite foods and our
cultural histories. In this workshop, students
explore a range of historical and contemporary
ideas for serving and storing: from small
delicacies to nourishing main courses. These
ideas — all organized around the space of the
table — are the starting point for imagining the
form, scale, surface and structure of pots.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Come to the
workshop with family recipes and sketches
for ideas of serving dishes. Use mid-range
clays, glazes and slips and explore a variety of
solutions to transform drawings and sketches
into three-dimensional clay forms. The pottery
wheel is the primary tool for shaping and
altering dishes. Slide talks and readings present
ideas about color, glaze application and the
relationship of two-dimensional ornamentation
and three-dimensional containers. Specific
surface design techniques include slip and
underglaze transfers, stencils, stamping and
layering of glazes, slip and underglazes.
ACTIVITIES
Mornings include discussions,
demonstrations and lectures. Afternoons
are focused on work time and one-on-
one and group discussions to facilitate the
development of describing form, process
and intent.

by creating personal and poetic surface imagery
on ceramic forms. Use traditional and non-
traditional china painting techniques during this
engaging week. The workshop is geared toward
those who want to improve upon or cultivate a
personal, visual vocabulary in ceramics.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Use both water-
and oil-based media and explore the difference
between both of these approaches. Learn the
unique benefits that overglaze painting offers
when painting on ceramics. Both functional and
sculptural works are welcome. Students may
bring finished glaze-fired forms to decorate.
Anderson Ranch Arts Center will also provide
commercially-glazed tiles to practice on.
ACTIVITIES
Discussions, exercises and
demonstrations center on image generation,
pattern development, composition building,
and china paint techniques. Historical and
contemporary examples of innovative ceramic
surfaces are discussed. Create layered surfaces
by building up china painted images and
patterns and firing daily.

from Alfred University in 2007 and has shown
work in more than 80 exhibitions. She was an
Assistant Professor at the University of Utah

for creating an artistic bridge of cooperation
between Eastern and Western ceramic artists.

Ives, which was started by Bernard Leach in
England. Both Tomoo and Simon grew up in
these significant pottery families and share their
knowledge and expertise.
MEDIA
&

voices. They use stoneware clays and slips.
