Let’s go play now!

> Subscription

We are happy to announce that for the sixth consecutive time, this workshop will be held in cooperation with ENSA, the National Higher School of Arts of Limoges.

We will create ludic objects to be  used by children and adults.

We will employ the technique of mould making to manufacturing the prototype of an object in porcelain, which is only associated with other materials to this point. It will have no other function that being handled, shared or being friendly.

Methology:

The participants will benefit from classes at Boisbuchet, a field trip on porcelain in the region and from using the kilns and the porcelain workshop at ENSA.

The workshop week will permit to get a good insight in all phases of the porcelain process:
molding, cutting and gluing, firing, glazing, and decorating.

Please bring to the course: desires, ideas, sketches, models and various tools and materials you thikn will be helpful for you to carry out their project.

Bernardaud Porcelaine de Limoges, one of the major porcelain manufacturers in France, is supporting the workshop and the participants will be able to visit the manufactury and their summer exhibition in Limoges.   

All levels are welcome.

WORKSHOP LEADER

Emmanuel Martin Bourdanove
As an artist, Martin Bourdanove is asking the question of the close link between the artist, his work, and the collector in an social and economic system where the borders between the various fields of artistic expression are increasingly dubious and where the definition even of the « objet d'art » remains voluntarily unspecified. Martin Bourdanove lives in Paris and is professor in the national school of arts of Limoges. Its work is represented by the galeries Catharina de Vos in Aalts and Claire Gastaud in Clermont-Ferrrand.

Christian Couty

Ceramist-modeller, Christian Couty experiences many year ago the techniques of the porcelain in various fields as object design or fashion. Founder president and active member of the association « esprit porcelaine », Christian Couty lives in Limoges and is professor in the National school of arts of Limoges.
