Doug Casebeer & Giselle Hicks
Utilitarian clay objects contain
food as well as their own quiet power and
meaning. These objects infiltrate our lives and
interact with our bodies in use. Pots can treat the
eye and mind to a three-dimensional painting—
all this while delivering nourishment. Explore a
variety of easily-made and decorated vessels
for the table. Contemplate notions of narrative,
color layering, and concepts of “less is more”
and/or “more is more” when it comes to form,
texture and glaze surface. CONCEPT
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students form
vessels in a soft, expressive style by hand
building and throwing white earthenware into
simple clay molds. Coat the vessels with layered
color palettes that are created as a group. These
processes can be adapted to other clays and
temperature ranges. Finally, students practice
adjusting the slip and glaze color and effects for
their later use. FACULTY
ACTIVITIES Giselle Hicks, former Studio Coordinator of Ceramics at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, currently
maintains her studio practice and lives in Helena, MT. She received her MFA from Alfred University
in New York. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the John Michael
Kohler Art Center, the Bellevue Art Museum and the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
There are lectures as well as
demonstrations and hands-on teaching. A
spirit of experimentation and trial and error is
encouraged. Students make their own molds
and sprigs to experiment with throughout the
workshop. These can be refined as time goes by
and ideas develop.
Embark on a journey designed to expand the scope of your clay knowledge and
develop a critical eye regarding a rigorous studio practice. This workshop is for advanced potters,
sculptors and ceramists who are interested in an advanced studio experience. The workshop includes
studio work, discussions and critiques.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students work with stoneware clays and glazes in oxidation firings.
Time is also spent discussing strategies for clays and glazes with instructors.
ACTIVITIES
Engage in an interactive, hands-on setting comprised of formal demonstration,
slideshows, group and individual discussions. Each student works with the faculty to establish a path
and direction he or she would like to pursue.
