Ceramics Class - U.H. Manoa, Fall '09 Semester

Elisabeth von Krogh

Norway

Earthenware, engobes

My attraction - Look at those colours! Vessels are beautifully designed in my eye.

New Word "Engobes" Engobes can be defined as liquid clay slips of varying compositions which are applied to the surface of a clay object, e.g. a pot. The purpose of the engobe can be as different as the varied forms it comes in: to give color to a piece; to improve the surface texture; to provide a ground to do further decoration on; to add textures. - Ceramics Today on-line

Elizabeth Lansch, Switzerland

Large earthenware, glazes in Hotel Widder, Zurich.

I am attracted to the shape and how it fits so well into the space. The shade of blue is very pleasing.

Margaret Dodd - Australian Ceramicist.

"Double Illusion - Looks like something, but made of something else."

"Abstract expressionism is a violent artist's response to a public lack of concern."

"Zen potter...He's liberated by tradition, but I'm liberated from it."

Photos of Dodd's work are superimposed on life-size backgrounds.

Peter Rushforth - Australian Potter.

"Pioneers...in this century have been essentially teachers...they've lectured and written books, and expressed forcibly their ideas of creative work in a machine-dominated society."

"If you haven't technique then very often your ideas are stillborn."

"....advice often given to Japanese craftsmen: develop an infallible technique, then leave yourself open to inspiration."

- "Nine Artist Potters" Littlemore pp. 42, 43

Suzanne Wolfe - Faculty Art Exhibition, on-going at Art Bldg. 3 plexi shelf displays of colourful and graphically diverse cups. Eye candy; all complex and compelling. Type on the inside, amazing!

"The dramatically different uses of clay by Suzanne Wolfe and new faculty member Brad Taylor speak to the broad range of this wonderfully malleable material. Wolfe’s series of decal-adorned forms speaks to both the vessel tradition and cultures of consumption, while Taylor’s massive sculpture of porcelain subverts any presumption of delicacy or fragility. Rick Mills’ shallow vessel form of cast glass shares much the same robust sensibility." - Marcia Morse for Honolulu Weekly.
