Akio and Paul at Guldagergaard

Akio Takamori and Paul Scott at Guldagergaard, 2011 & 2012

Akio Takamori and Paul Scott at Guldagergaard, 2011 & 2012
I was lucky to spend two residencies at Guldegergaard, Denmark. In 2011, Akio Takamori was there, by chance, and was so kind and helpful to our resident artists. In 2012, I had a Print on Porcelain workshop, again luckily with Paul Scott, and as an illustrator, I began to make silkscreens and in-glaze transferware. In both images, I was celebrating the outstanding contributions of these two great artists. Akio is standing in front of the Appfel Hus Gallery there, next to his Alphabet figures, with Akio's figure busts on the gallery outside. He is standing in front of images made by Danish artist Sten Lykke Madsen and American artist Kim Dickey. The picture on the left is of Paul Scott delivering his outdoor tile mural, which he made in 2012 during my second residency there. I was impressed with the cargo bikes the Danes travel on with their children or groceries in tow. I had a chance to help with the mural and learn many print-on porcelain tricks from Paul's workshop, and I sang in the local town of Skaelskor Chorale once a week. A wonderful experience all around!

All Together Now

All three pieces were created after sketches I always create in my program guides at Boston Symphony Concerts. All were created in Denmark at the wonderful International Ceramic Research Center, Guldagergaard during my 2 residencies in 2011, and during my second residency in 2012, when I made the nesting pitchers with in-glaze, twice glaze fired […]

All three pieces were created after sketches I always create in my program guides at Boston Symphony Concerts. All these porcelain screened images were created in Denmark at the wonderful International Ceramic Research Center, Guldagergaard during my 2 residencies in 2011, and during my second residency in 2012, when I made the nesting pitchers with in-glaze, twice glazed fired transfer decals. The nesting pitchers, are my own designs, first created in plaster, then cast from positive plaster forms for slip casting. Silkscreens of my sketches were screened directly on the 2 orchestra pieces. The violinist is Pinchus Zuckerman, conductor is me, with my creative license. At the piano with the singer image, the soprano is Renee Fleming. The 2 screened images are included in the "500 Prints on Clay" Lark publication ©2013. The nesting pitchers were included in an ICAN ceramic calendar.
