To Be Announced

Lecture:
American Decorative Tiles: Susan Tunick
Location: Clay Art Center
Saturday, October 4, 2008 @ 5pm
Fee: Free

During its formative years, the American Tile Industry owed much to the venerable English Tile Tradition. The designs were influential but so were the technicians and modelers hired by American companies. Most of them were foreign born and/or trained. The lecture will review the roots of American decorative tiles and then explore some of the unique aspects of the field that developed as innovative potters and tilemakers began to find their own voices. Several of these American companies that specialized in handmade tiles will be discussed including: Batchelder, Enfield, Rookwood, Grueby and Moravian Tile Works. The focus will be on site-specific installations, showing the valuable contribution of tile to the history of design in the decorative arts and architecture.

Open Studio Tour:
Saturday, October 4, 6-9pm and Sunday, October 5, 12-4pm. CAC artists open up their studios to the viewing public, transforming their spaces into mini-galleries. Artists will be present, giving demonstrations and tours, sharing stories and answering questions about thier work and Clay Art Center.

Workshop:
The Wildness Within: Beth Cavener Stichter
Location: New Rochelle Public Library Auditorium
Friday, October 17, 1-6pm
Saturday, October 18, 12-6pm
Sunday, October 19, 10am-4pm
Fee: $200

Beth Cavener Stichter is known for her dynamic, emotionally-charged animal and human figures. In this demonstration workshop, participants will experience Beth’s unusual method of working, starting with a solid mass of clay and then hollowing each part of the sculpture down to the skin before reassembling the entire piece. Through demonstrations and slide presentations, Beth will cover a range of practical technical information about her hand-building methods. This three-day workshop is intended to give participants a glimpse into how one can tackle elements of gesture and expression with subtle shifts in line and form, how we transfer ideas and meaning visually.
