ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES AND RESIDENCIES
NCECA INTERNATIONAL RESIDENCY PARTNER PROGRAMS
The purpose of NCECA is to promote and improve the ceramic arts through education, research and creative practice. One of the many ways that NCECA supports its members is by providing opportunities to engage in international programs. Intercultural exchange of ideas and methods is critical to evolution of individual artists who through their immersion and experimentation, absorb and sometimes transform influences of other artists and their cultures. Since launching this initiative, NCECA has participated in programs in Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. NCECA is committed to the idea that global interface will continue to play an important role in our organization’s efforts to sustain and advance a vibrant ceramic art and education community.
Consideration for NCECA International Residency opportunities is open all NCECA members.

Figuring Out with Kensuke Yamada
June 13 to June 17, 2022
In this class, students will combine multiple figures or objects and learn to use form and surface to create a narrative. Kensuke will demonstrate coil building and other hand-building techniques to construct a sculpture in stoneware. Discussions will focus on anatomy, proportion, posture, gesture, and glazing techniques. Facial features, hands, feet, and clothing will be added to animate the figures. Surfaces can be enhanced by texturing and detailing to create additional personal imagery. Students will create samples and test tiles for experimentation using slips, underglazes, stains, and glazes and will be fired as reference materials for future use after the workshop. Some hand-building experience is necessary, and figure drawing experience is helpful.
June 20 to 24, 2022
This workshop will explore the possibilities of clay when it is viewed and formed as a canvas for imagery and visual narratives. We’ll work with black underglaze and a variety of techniques including pointillism, sgraffito, and watercolor underglaze painting. We’ll cover the process for planning and drawing an image or pattern before transferring the outline to the clay surface for painting. There will be surface design and wheel-throwing demonstrations, as well as discussions about our narratives. We’ll make vessels with porcelain or stoneware, decorate, and then fire in oxidation in electric kilns. Some experience in wheel-throwing or hand-building would help participants focus on the surface more; however, workshop participants are welcome to paint on tile and slabs. Students are encouraged to bring bisqueware with them if possible.
June 27 to July 1, 2022
This hands-on workshop will explore both wheel-thrown and hand-built pottery, and drawing/painting on clay, with a focus on building a personal approach to form and imagery/design. Students are encouraged to bring sketches, visual resources, and ideas for imagery they would like to explore. Demonstrations, lectures, and group discussions will focus on basic forming and painting skills, but more, we will seek to clarify strategies for creating articulate individual pottery forms. Forms created will be decorated with homemade earthenware underglaze.
May 13th, 2022: 12:00 – 2:00 PM ET
In this class, students will learn about using and applying a variety of ceramic decals. We’ll go over decal types, how to apply glaze ware and greenware, firing temperatures, and how to layer different decals. *Previous clay experience will be helpful for this workshop.
May 21st, 2022: 4:00 – 6:00 PM ET
Students will learn the basics of plaster mold making, using press molds, and slip casting. I will demonstrate how to make plaster molds for skull-shaped studs and pie tart shells. At the end of the class, the students will have gained knowledge in utilizing molds in a range of applications to expand their ceramic practice by integrating molded elements into their projects.
May 22nd, 2022: 12:00 – 2:00 PM ET
This class will serve as a practical guide for building at a larger scale, using hollow building techniques. Andrea will cover the importance of a good sculpture clay body, things to consider when beginning a form, and how to continue building up and out in a variety of ways. We will also discuss tips and tricks for firing complex forms.
May 27th, 2022; 12:00 – 2:00 PM ET
Take a deeper dive into how to create patterns, images, line work, and textured surfaces on leather hard clay. Working on small slabs or little plates, techniques will include carving, stamping, craft foam textures, paper stencils, rice paper transfers, and underglaze inlay through wax resist.
May 28th, 2022: 12:00 – 2:00 PM ET
During this 2-hour class, April will be explaining her process of bringing ceramic material in a cohesive manner with disparate materials such as fabrics, papers, and other objects. She will explain the non-ceramic materials that are used to bridge the connection between ceramic and non-ceramic objects.
May 29th, 2022: 12:00 – 2:00 PM ET
Throwing big pots in one piece can be incredibly intimidating, but with patience and a good pace, you can do it! In this class, you’ll learn techniques to keep large forms from flopping to getting that last bit of clay out of the bottom of your cylinder. We’ll be focusing on planters, similar to a bowl, it’s an easy form to work with at a larger scale you get to put a plant in it when you’re done!
