1 WORKSHOPS PROGRAMME WORKSHOP WITH ANNE VERDIER Contact : Pauline Jurquet - paulinejurquet@yahoocom, tel : Construction(s) Anne Verdier is a graduate of the Institut Européen des Arts Céramiques and of Langley College (UK) Following a residency at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw (Poland) she organised a number of workshops and courses in France She also teaches molecular and plant biology website : wwwanneverdierfr Where: Centre Céramique de Giroussens Number of participants: 10 Preferred level of ability: professionals and experienced amateurs I try to use creative processes that lead to random forms using traditional ceramic materials: rough clay, porcelain, glaze By means of questioning oneself, while observing the changes brought about by the firing, and then confronting these results you can reappropriate the forms by reworking them or adding to them Over the course of the three days I hope to make you experience this proximity to the material as a starting point for a search for volume while maintaining the essential nature of the materials Day 1: Discovery of the materials preparation of rough clay by trampling it underfoot, observation and composition work on different approaches to the clay: crushing, tearing, removing and adding etc Day 2: The building of a kiln with our untreated works while paying special attention to loading them in the kiln : primitive gas firing Day 3: Unloading the participants work These pieces will be the starting point for composite work using another material the search for various possibilities using elements collected from nature or in the workshop the association of fired clay and organic matter or plastic materials or its relationship with the space surrounding it

5 demonstration Tests by the participants, which will lead to a proposition of realization within the course time frame Day 2: establishment of a working process for each student Individual work or within small chosen groups Day 3: continuation of work and firing tests with existing means: in gas/electric kilns or built in situ: pit-firing, paper kilns Materials will be those available at the course venue But any personal materials the student wishes to bring to test will be especially welcome, particularly those intended for incorporation in clay compositions
