Dish and vase — Dragonfly pottery by Gill McMillan – exhibitor at ‘Ceramics in Charnwood’, 2018

Gill throws and turns on a potter’s wheel. While the clay is half dry she draws and cuts out the design. After bisque firing, wax is applied to resist the glaze, copper carbonate is painted where desired, and the glaze is applied. The pieces are fired to 1260°C.  Liquid metallic lustres are painted on, and then fired again to 700°C.

Ceramic art of the Earth — Taoist perspective

 

Pottery is basically born of the earth and its essential production reinforces its inherent Earth element due to the firing process. Fire enhances earth according to the ancient Taoist five element theory and Earth balances all the other elements. The Earth season arrives four times a year at every season change in an attempt to re-balance and maintain order and has a duration of  one month each time. Our solar system was created from a massive centrifugal thrust and the Earth is still in motion from this beginning. The potters wheel replicates the same centrifugal force to push the clay into form making the humble pot stand as a statement of the balance in our primal creative power and elements

Three Giants: Kamoda Shoji, Matsui Kosei, Wada Morihiro

 

Joan B Mirviss Gallery, NY is presenting an exhibition of the contemporary Japanese ceramic works of well known artists Matsui Kosei (1927-2003), Kamoda Shoji (1933-1983) and Wada Morihiro (1944-2008), all major innovators in the scheme of 20th-century Japanese ceramics. This is the first exhibition outside Japan for all three of the clay artists on view, and is running till the 20th April, 2018.

39 East 78th Street
Suite 401, New York, NY 10075

Telephone (212) 799-4021

Kamoda Shoji was pivotal in transforming the aesthetic appreciation of modern ceramics in Japan, awakening the entire conservative traditional ceramic world to a new vision of the concept of ‘function’. Matsui was involved in developing the technique of neriage (an intricate combination of colouring clay) and Kamoda and Morihiro were the early pioneers of moving away from traditions such as the use of classical motifs.

Art of clay

 

Just as our Earth gifts a perpetual abundance of malleable clays and minerals that can be transformed into expressive forms, displaying a wide variety of natural colours and textures, ceramic artists keep discovering more creative possibilities for the malleable substance. The fact that clay vessels, as vehicles of consumption, are sourced from the same earth that our basic sustenance arrives from is a reassuring harmonic and maybe a reason of its enduring appeal.
Clay provides a natural, decorative medium that is a receptive, three-dimensional canvas, that readily absorbs paint, is durable and responds readily to manipulation and shaping. Over the ages the use of pinch pots, wheel throwing, coil construction, slab building and moulding have been stalwarts of clay production methods and are still used to craft functional and decorative wares. A tactile odyssey of various surface finishes is rendered possible by the available materials and firing processes, delivering an array of surfaces ranging from coarse textures arising from glazes that are frothy, bubbling, foaming, fissured and jagged to smooth, even and flat surfaces.
Using further enhancement after manipulation of form with techniques like incision, glazing, reduction firing, carving, slips and engobes leads to endless possibilities. It is to be expected that ceramicists quite often draw inspiration from nature and explore the inherent natural colours and textures in clays and create forms that look organic.
Here we examine some recent contemporary innovations in the ceramic arts and also look at some classic antique and vintage pieces.

Betty Woodman

 

Bettty Woodman was one of the first females to blaze a trail into the male dominated world of pottery in the 50’s. She developed her craft making dinner sets and decorative crockery, but from the 1950’s onwards, she moved into the realm of sculpture. Her unrestrained, spontaneous and vibrant pieces now occupy museums and art galleries globally. At the age of 85, Woodman is still creating work in her studios in Chelsea in New York and a farmhouse in Tuscany. Her ideas appear while she is making rather than while sitting, thinking and planning. The more she creates, the “more I am inspired and the more one thing leads to another. I’m not interested in repeating myself.”

Matthew Blakely, UK

 

Matthews ‘rock glazed’ ceramics represents the personal development of an understanding and a bond with the landscapes of Britain, illustrating the ceramic qualities of the rocks and deposits around the country. His aim is to create another way of looking at the land on which we live by making ceramic pieces that are entirely created from rocks and minerals that he has collected from individual locations. Each piece is an illustration of the ceramic and geological character of that place.

Paul Scott

 

Paul Scott is a Cumbrian based conceptual artist who remodels discarded ceramic shards to create new iterations. Some are recreated with the ancient Japanese kintsugi tradition of using gold and lacquer to rejoin the pieces or he just combines broken pieces to refresh the context and artistic presentation. His rescued pieces, from a combination of Chinese Willows and other blue transferwares, makes them again appear to be beautiful, functional, and intriguing. He has been Professor of Ceramics at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO) since 2011.

Naked Raku—Slip-Glaze—Kris Paul

dragonfiregallery

I specialize in thrown and hand built fine porcelain that has been burnished to a soft polished surface that is fired in a naked raku firing. The firing process is a dance between the porcelain and the carbon atmosphere and it is not until they emerge from the reduction chamber that I know how the surface will appear. There are distinct subtleties within each individual piece that emerge through the process of manipulating the clay.
