Red Petal Raincatcher Series | Blithewold Arboretum | 2014
In this workshop with Allison Newsome, participants will explore totemic ceramic garden sculpture by creating multiple components that result in a larger work. Following Allison Newsome's recent residency with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in connection with their Luca della Robbia exhibition, participants will study architectural clay inspired forms.
Surface techniques will include using majolica, a white glaze base, Newsome’s trademark use of Mason Stains to create “once-fired” ceramics, and using polychrome painting on a white opaque surface with metallic oxides and stains.
