My making process combines elements of control and chance. While controlling the tools that slice and form the clay, the blade often cuts in unexpected ways, creating layers and textures I had not foreseen.
The way my glazes choose to run and melt is also partly chance.
Participants will have the opportunity to make several pieces inspired by David's works and his philosophy. He will share glaze recipes and application techniques. Pieces will be fired in one of our wood-fired kilns.
"Alkotási folyamatom során a kontrollált és a véletlen elemei keverednek. Miközben irányítom az agyagot formázó szerszámokat, az eszköz gyakran váratlan módon vág, olyan rétegeket és textúrákat hozva létre, amelyeket nem láttam előre.
Az, ahogy a mázam folyik és olvad, szintén részben a véletlen műve.”
A résztvevőknek lehetőségük lesz arra, hogy David munkái és filozófiája által inspirált műveket készítsenek. Megosztja majd a mázak receptjeit és alkalmazási technikáit. A létrejött alkotások fatüzelésű kemencéink egyikében kerülnek kiégetésre.
Whilst drawing inspiration from the contrasting influences of the natural landscape and contemporary architecture, my thinking is shaped by a deep respect of the fundamental principles of Japanese aesthetics. My intention is to make work that is hopefully bold and visually engaging, whilst simultaneously conveying a sense of simplicity and quietness.
As I reflect on our increasingly fast pace of life, I find myself drawn towards making objects that are hopefully contemplative, emotive and beautiful - even useful.
In September 2020 I retired from my position as Professor of Contemporary Ceramics, after nearly 38 years teaching. On retiring, I was awarded the title of Emeritus Professor of Contemporary Ceramics. During my time at UCLan, I ran the MA Ceramics programme, and was Head of the Silicate Research Unit. Investigation developed through both my art practice and more formal research led to the formation of a University spin-out company - ALUSID.
„Legújabb munkáim közvetlenebb és bensőségesebb kapcsolatot foglalnak magukban az agyaggal, mint korábbi munkáim. Negyvenéves kerámia pályafutásom során először vizsgálom az edényt és a mázat is.
Miközben a természeti táj és a kortárs építészet ellentétes hatásaiból merítek ihletet, gondolkodásomat a japán esztétika alapelveinek mélységes tisztelete alakítja. Az a szándékom, hogy olyan munkákat készítsek, melyek remélhetőleg merészek és vizuálisan megragadóak, ugyanakkor az egyszerűség és a nyugalom érzetét közvetítik.
Ahogy egyre gyorsuló életritmusunkra reflektálok, olyan tárgyak készítése vonz, amelyek remélhetőleg elgondolkodtatóak, érzelmekkel telítettek és attraktívak - sőt, hasznosak is.”
2020. szeptemberében, közel 38 év tanítás után visszavonultam professzori pozíciómból. Nyugdíjba vonulásomkor a Kortárs Kerámia Emeritus Professzora címet kaptam. Az UCLan-on töltött idő alatt én vezettem a Kerámia Mesterképzést és a szilikátkutató szak vezetője voltam. A szakmai gyakorlatom és a végzett kutatásaim révén egy egyetemi spin-out vállalat - az ALUSID – jött létre.
