“Geometric design on Naked Raku”

Simcha Even-Chen is an Israelian ceramist artist.

After extensive studies in biology, biochemistry and biotechnology, Simcha discovered ceramics and professionally invested in these two areas at once.

Her work highly focused on the naked raku with a graphic and a very personal design enables it to quickly enter in the international high-level ceramics world.

Winner of many awards and competitions, she has exhibited worldwide.

She became a member of the International Academy of Ceramics in 2011.

Her works are slab-built, burnished, applied with terra-sigillata and Raku fired using the Naked Raku technique.

In her works, she focuses on tension and balance. Different levels of relationships are created : physical balance, ratio between the geometric surface patterns and the structure of the bodies and tension between the surface and the amorphous pattern resulting from the Raku technique, which creates a dynamic of opposites.

The workshop will focus  on the surface geometric design and the way of preparing the objects for the Naked Raku firing technique.

It is necessary to bring your own polished pieces (and / or prepared with terra sigillata) bisqued between 900 and 950 °.

Possibility to buy small already prepared shapes (precise it on the application form)

3 days : 300€
