April 28th & 29th, 2012 9am to 5pm daily
Registration Fee: $235.00
Durham, NC
This two-day, hands-on workshop with Linda and Charlie Riggs will focus on ferric chloride fuming, 2 types of naked raku and horsehair firing. A special emphasis is on the use of pots polished with white terra sigillata.
Students’ pots will be fired in or placed into atmospheres where the smoke and/or chemicals produce the final surface color. These colors range from the deep reds and oranges of saggar and ferric chloride firings to the stark black and white designs of naked raku.

My work is influenced by a variety of sources: Asian pottery traditions, Greek and Roman pots, early American decorative arts, face jugs, and other folk traditions. The images on my pots are decorative. Our culture tends to look at decoration as embellishment without meaning- frosting on the cake. While I resist applying direct narrative and literal definition to my iconography, the patterns and images I choose come from my life and experience. Interest in the natural sciences (evolutionary biology, ethology) and history (archaeology, physical culture) find there way, obliquely, into the work. A coffee cup has as much capacity to carry meaning as any other form of expression.

The Biennale de la Céramique is a cultural event in Andenne, Belgium, taking place on May 27th and 28th, 2012. The Contemporary ceramics exhibition will be extended until June 3rd, 2012. Selected artists will be presenting a maximum of 4 works or one installation.
This event, was created in 1988 and acquired over time a national and an international recognition.
It is hoped that the event will revitalize the industrial ceramic history of the city and build bridges between people and contemporary artists. During the event, and it’s extensions, all the city lives to the rhythm and colors of the ceramic: exhibition of contemporary ceramics in many places, international market of potters & ceramists, artist residency program, lectures, artists demonstrations, master classes, visits of schools, activities for children… all this find it’s proper place in the program.
The exhibition of contemporary ceramics shows the current trends in contemporary ceramics; the international market of potters and ceramists located on the Chapitre Square, at the foot of Ste Begge’s church, is a real moment for the visibility of the richness and originality of the ceramics of common utility; while the exhibition about the traditional and ethnic ceramics is a focus on the intercultural aspects generated by the practices of ceramics.
