Michelle Mendlowitz workshop
Dates: October 20 and 21, 2018
Time: 9:30 to 4:00 both days
Fees: Members $135.00 + HST
non members $150.00 + HST
Pot luck lunch both days.
Free slide presentation Friday, October 19 at 7:00 pm
We have all seen Michelle’s beautiful work and wondered “how does she achieve those magnificent glaze designs?” Please attend this two day workshop where she will walk us through the process during two days of demonstration and discussion. Please note that this is a demo workshop and due to the nature of the process, is not hands on.
Michelle has been dedicated to developing her own personal language within ceramics since discovering a love for clay in high school. With a knack for exploiting the function and form of clay, she explores the ideas of the vessel, which are inextricable from the ceramic medium as a whole.
Since entering the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in 2000, Michelle has exhibited in several art shows and galleries throughout Toronto and Waterloo. She is also the recipient of many awards, only more of which are sure to come as she continues to immerse herself in the local art community.
Michelle’s work is very personal to her and exposes the subconscious nature of her creative process. Her mantra of “build, clean, scrape, carve, draw, paint, reveal and conceal” is evident in each one of her works, as well as the influences of nature, architecture and the human form.
“They are both action and reaction – each one informing the next.”
Please note that this is not a hands on workshop.
