SPECIAL WORKSHOPS IN

CERAMICS

WITH MOLLY HATCH

Rethinking the Ceramic Surface: Laser printed decals
October 29, 5-7pm

As you look at the creative world there are trends of both artists and designers looking to re-use and recycle materials in their objects. We often consider a ceramic object finished once it has gone through the final firing stage. Through the use of decals and other processes, you can approach the “finished” ceramic object with new possibilities. In this two-hour workshop we will look at ways to transform and re-invent objects that already exist using laser-printed decals.

Mishima: The Slip Inlay Process
November 5, 5-7pm

In this two-hour workshop traditional Korean and Japanese slip techniques will be demonstrated on greenware. These traditional surface decoration techniques are ways one can use the ceramic surface as a place to draw and paint. The graphic quality of “mishima” is similar to printmaking techniques, allowing for similar lines to those found in intaglio and woodcut. Though best on porcelain, use of slip can be just as effective on stoneware and earthenware clay bodies.

Both workshops will be held at the Davidson Pottery Studio, the site for the Hopkins Center Student Workshop in Ceramics, on the Norwich side of the river, a 7 minute walk from the green. phone:802-649-2447 or contact Jenny Swanson for more information.

Kansas City Art Istitute writes about Molly on their Blog!

The Kansas City Art Institute had me for a visit last spring and I got a little mention on their blog recently. Check it out here. Carrie wrote:

Molly Hatch on Apartment Therapy:The Kitchn

A friend pointed out that I got some good press yesterday on Apartment Therapy's The Kitchn! I love it when that happens!

Come January 1st, Molly is off to Kohler!

I received that glorious phone call from Beth Lipman last week letting me know that I was awarded a three-month residency at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan WI. I leave by the new year and return to New England in April. My plan is to work on developing my tile work a bit more, not so secretly, I am hoping I can convince the folks at Kohler to invite me to come and do a bathroom! The bath room pictured here is done by Cynthia Constantino an artist who I worked with at the Museum School in Boston. Her work is fabulous in and out of the bathroom!
I will be out of my studio as a result of this, so i will be keeping you all informed of my progress via blog...check back in January!

16 Stokers: Collaborative work of Scott Parady and Molly Hatch

October 6-31 Check out the work of the 16+ artists who fire in Scott Parady's wood kiln in CA. The work will be shown at the Robert Else Gallery at California State University, Sacramento. The opening reception is October 6th 6-9pm.

Scott and I started doing collaborative work last summer (07) while we were both at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass CO. We are hoping to continue the collaborative work--Scott makes the forms and I draw on the surfaces--then Scott fires the work. This group of work that is being shown is mostly done with a porcelain slip inlay on the surfaces of Scott's work.

For those of you in the Berkeley area, Scott and I are also in a show with our individual work at TRAX gallery.
