Here's a description of the Ben Carter DVD which we'll start tomorrow (courtesy of Florence Wiley),
Throwing, Handbuilding and Slip Decorating
In
this edition of the Ceramic Arts Daily Presents video series, Ben
Carter shares his methods for integrating surface design with altered
wheel-thrown and handbuilt pottery. Referencing pillows, tufted
furniture, and quilts, Carter imbues his pots with softness in a variety
of ways—from altering freshly thrown pots to create volume, to
stretching soft clay into foam slump molds. Using this overfilled
aesthetic as a metaphor for the comfort of southern hospitality, he
complements the soft forms with slip and underglaze decoration using
sgraffito, slip trailing, and painting techniques.
Looks like a good one, join us!
