The Wilderness Within
When: Friday- Sunday, July 23-25, 2010, 10am-4pm
Artist Talk: Friday, July 23rd, 7-8pm
Baltimore Clayworks is presenting Beth Cavener Stichter for a vigorous three-day workshop. She will be giving both a formal talk on her work, and a more informal, in-depth demonstration on the creation of her work and discussion of her studio practice- everything from the conceptual framework, the technical methods of building solid and hollowing out, to the firing, finishing, repairing, and installation of work. Included with the workshop is a 60 minute digital-image lecture on her work and another 45 minute Power point presentation illustrating the technical side of working on the monumental scale.
Beth Cavener Stichter is known for her dynamic, emotionally charged animal and human figures. This Guest Artist visit is intended to give participants a glimpse of how one can tackle elements of gesture and expression with subtle shifts in line and form. During the course of this large-scale demonstration, Beth will cover a range of practical technical information about working in clay as well as initiate discussion on how we transfer ideas and meaning visually. Her unusual method of working is accessible to interested individuals at every level: working with a solid mass of clay, often over 2,000 lbs., and then hollowing each part of the sculpture down to the skin.
