Review by Julia Feld (USA)
July 14 – August 11, 2018
I spent very productive 4 weeks at the residency working with local materials and exploring new possibilities. The plan was to make figurative work and combine smooth and rough surfaces and create some tension and ambiguity between different aspects of one personality. I worked with local yellow stone-ware clay and porcelain slip.
I went to see how the clay is produced at the local clay manufacturing site, visited local ceramic studios and contemporary ceramic museum. The studio is small and I shared it with an artist from Amsterdam, who was working with colored porcelain slip that gave me an opportunity to learn a new techniques and get some ideas for the future experiments.
