Now Online:
ICYMI, our Earth & Fire artist talk with Ken Matsuzaki and Noah Hughey-Commers is now available to watch online!
📽
Moderated by Noah Hughey-Commers, the talk dives into Matsuzaki’s life and work as a ceramic artist. In his more recent work, Matsuzaki is handbuilding, cutting away at the clay much as a sculptor would while maintaining its rugged character and energy. The artist talk took place on May 24, 2024, as part of a special workshop series at DCC.

In this 3-hour workshop, artist Caylynn Fahey will demonstrate how shellac and wax resist can be used to create sculptural and painterly surface designs on your clay. After applying shellac to leather-hard clay, students will use water to selectively reveal beautiful relief textures. Caylynn will also share design techniques using wax resist (outside of the glazing process!).
