My approach is experimental and observational and together we shall work with techniques that enable you not just to observe the creation of work that is in the style of ‘Eddie Curtis’ but to inspire a way of working that helps you to create vessels, containers and/or sculptures with a singular identity of their own.
Whilst aimed at an intermediate or advanced level student, this course is designed to enable you make a fresh connection with clay whatever your ability.
My work incorporates and celebrates references to landscape in its broadest sense, utilising many techniques to build a composite and textured form. I shall demonstrate how some basic, simple techniques can be combined to give rise to apparently complex forms that completely belie their elementary beginnings.
The workshop language will be English.
“Megközelítéseim kísérletezésen és megfigyeléseken alapul. Együtt fogunk dolgozni olyan technikákkal, amelyek lehetővé teszik, hogy ne csak megfigyelhesd az "Eddie Curtis" stílusában készült alkotási folyamatot, hanem olyan munkamódszerek elsajátítását inspiráljanak, amelyek segítenek neked saját, egyedi identitással rendelkező edényeket, tartályokat és/vagy szobrokat létrehozni.”
Bár a tanfolyamot középhaladó vagy haladó szintű résztvevőknek ajánljuk, mégis úgy van tervezve, hogy képességeidtől függetlenül tudj egy új kapcsolatot teremteni az agyaggal.
“Munkáim a legtágabb értelemben vett tájra való utalásokat tartalmaznak és ünneplik azt. Számos technikát használok összetett és texturált formák felépítéséhez. Be fogom mutatni, hogy néhány alapvető, egyszerű technikát hogyan lehet kombinálni, hogy látszólag összetett formák szülessenek, amelyek teljesen meghazudtolják elemi kezdeteiket.”
A workshop nyelve angol lesz.
My intention is to elicit the response from my students: ‘I want to do that’ and subsequently ‘I can do that’. At the beginning of the course methods will be shown that enable the making of quick small pieces that will reinforce your confidence to work experimentally and with a passion. By the end of the course you will have discovered the process of combining multiple techniques in way that opens and inspires your approach to making inspired ceramics.
Eddie Curtis established his studio in 1979 where he began making tableware as a production potter. He later developed work of an individual, sculptural nature which he has exhibited in mainland Europe, Japan, India and the USA.
He has demonstrated his techniques widely including The International Ceramics Festival at Aberystwyth in 2017 where a piece of his work was acquired for the Aberystwyth University, School of Art Museum and Galleries Ceramic Collection.
“Szándékom az, hogy kivívjam a válaszadást a tanítványaimból: "Ezt meg akarom csinálni", majd "Ezt meg tudom csinálni". A kurzus elején olyan módszereket mutatok be, amelyek lehetővé teszik gyors kis darabok készítését, amelyek megerősítik a kísérletező és szenvedélyes munkához szükséges önbizalmat. A tanfolyam végére felfedezheted a többféle technika kombinálásának folyamatát olyan módon, amely megnyitja és inspirálja a kerámiakészítéshez való hozzáállásodat.”
Eddie Curtis 1979-ben alapította meg műtermét, ahol fazekasként kezdett el edényeket készíteni. Később egyéni, szobrászati jellegű munkákat fejlesztett ki, amelyeket a kontinentális Európában, Japánban, Indiában és az Egyesült Államokban állított ki.
