Handbuilding. For all

Introduction

Learn about various image transfer techniques to use on clay. starting from own photographs, sketches and drawings..

Techniques

First step we print on clay slabs, with which subsequently we build objects inspired by the theme “Music and Instruments”. We will make sculptures to decorate and embellish, just as luthiers did in the past with their instruments.  A Cellist herself, Maria notes how instruments resemble the human body, not only in form but also in voice, leading thus to a wide metaphorical meaning.  We will learn how to produce the matrix for screen-printing in the dark room. We will use stoneware, porcelain and colored engobes, and the work will be fired at 1150 ° C.

Instruction

Maria’s poetic approach, her sense of humor and her extensive experience make each of her workshops an unforgettable experience.

 The Artist

In accordance with Maria Garzuly,  the course will be taught exceptionally by Teja Hlacer

Teja Hlacer was initiated to ceramics in her childhood. Whilst studying Cultural Anthropology, she nurtured her artistic talent in field research and studies of traditional pottery in Slovenia, her native country. Over time,  her main interest has shifted to ceramics.  Teja is an excellent teacher and masters many techniques in the field of artistic and functional ceramics. She has collaborated with La Meridiana for many years, assisting international clay artists and teaching workshops herself. Her work has been shown in galleries and in international group exhibitions. She regularly contributes to the recognition of ceramics in Slovenia and likes to share knowledge and making ceramics around the world.

 

 “Maria Geszler-Garzuly completed her studies at the Academy of Arts and Crafts in Budapest in 1965. She worked as an industrial designer between 1966 and 1980, setting up her own studio in 1975. Her work is award-winning and can be found in museums and collections around the world. Her competent teaching style is appreciated by the students of workshops, seminars and simposiumns around the world. She says about her inspiration: “We are part of the wonderful or threatening nature that surrounds us – this philosophy of Rousseau has inspired me for decades in the creation of works of art. It is my way of looking at the landscape when I take photographs, the way I touch clay and porcelain when I take it in my hand. This is how I perceive wet clay and my silkscreen images when I organically create the curves and sculptures to decorate. It is the desire that leads to hills, endless meadows, waters and beaches, to then dissolve and get lost in “nothing”, “infinite”.
