CONCEPT: The notion of developing 2D images for 3D forms
will be the subject of this mixed media class. An emphasis
will be on the conceptual development of personal imagery
for ceramic forms. Students will create laser transfers and
silk screened images for transferring onto fired ceramics.
CONCEPT: This workshop explores combining images and
words into hybrid works of art that engage the viewer on
multiple visual and verbal levels. For artists who have already
created a body of work in one or more mediums, this workshop will encourage participants to expand what their work
is “saying”—either through various collage techniques, juxtaposition, or direct overlays—for example, by affixing photographic imagery to canvas and painting over it, or inscribing words (or other images) across the surface of paintings,
drawings, or sculpture. The goal is to make large works
whose individual parts are the foundation for painted or
drawn embellishment. The workshop is a chance to reevaluate a body of work and transform parts of it in completely
new hybrid directions.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Digital image generation and manipulation using Photoshop, laser transfers, ceramic decals and
silkscreen techniques. All work will be done on pre-made
ceramic forms.
ACTIVITIES: Students will work for one week developing a
narrative using personal, found or generated images. Demonstrations will include scanning, digital image preparation,
production of laser decals, and simple silkscreen techniques
using PhotoEZ. Students will fire their images on pre-made
ceramic forms at the end of the week.
SKILL LEVEL: Open to All – Any skill/knowledge level.
FACULTY: Mark Burleson is a studio artist in Atlanta, Georgia.
He is also an assistant professor at Georgia State University
and head of the ceramics program. He received his MFA from
Mills College in Oakland California and his BFA from Tufts
University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He
has taught extensively.

CONCEPT: Gelatin emulsion tintypes were made commercially
as early as the 1880’s. Before that, photographers would coat
their own blackened metallic plates with a gelatin emulsion
that they could dry and take with them in film holders, similar
to what we use with large-format cameras today. This made
it easy for photographers to go off without their portable
darkrooms in tow—an exciting prospect in those days! Making tintypes today is very gratifying. During this week-long
workshop, students will learn to coat the plates and expose
them using a view camera or a pinhole camera. They will
also learn how to put positives into the enlarger and make
photograms.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Rockland Tintype kits, metal plates, and
any camera you choose to bring, from pinholes to large-format cameras. Some Kodak Brownie cameras will be on hand
to experiment with as well.
ACTIVITIES: We will divide our time between field trips to create images and darkroom sessions where students will learn )Ѽ
