aspects of design practice - autumn course $ 59

(and porcelain)
through historic and contemporary examples we will examine
one of the most ancient and most challenging art forms.
lessons provide a detailed and compelling analysis, with a
balance of practical and critical features on its production.
some subjects and shapes are designed to be crafted as
one-of-a-kind pieces, others can be manufactured in series.
color richness and the variety of glazes allow experimental play
with the decorative traditions. the designer's attraction with
'the pre-eminent dignity of the arts of fire'
- is here translated into the pleasure of making.
duration : october 1 - december 7
