Subject: Workshop w/David Furman @ Santa Fe Clay, July 7-11
Join ceramist David Furman in a five day workshop July 7-11, 1997 at
Santa Fe Clay, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
This workshop explores the potential of small scale clay sculpture as
metaphor for biographical/narrative storytelling. We will seek to explore
with uncompromising eyes, life's rituals and rites which may both be
personal and revealing. Work will be done in low fire clays and
underglazes. Visual historical references will include slides from the
pre-Colombian past; Peru(Moche and Nazca cultures), Mexican funerary/
anecdotal sculpture(Nayarit, Colima, and Jalisco cultures), and Costa
Rican pottery of the Guanacaste/Nicoya penninsula. We will also visit the
Ron Messic Gallery of pre-Colombian Art in Santa Fe, and will have a field
trip to the Anasazi site of Tsankawi. Workshop is open to all skill
levels. David has just returned from a six week visit to South America,
including Venezuela, Peru, and Ecuador, and has fascinating new slides of
pre-colombian ruins and ceramics, as well as slides of pottery villages in
Venezuela, where he worked with a 75 year old woman potter, who had been
making vessels for the past 60 years.
David Furman is an artist and professor at Pitzer College, in So.
California. He has had 33 solo shows and has had his work included in 275
group exhibitions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los
Angeles County Art Museum, and the Smithsonian Institution. He's received
3 NEA fellowships(76,87,96)and 2 Fulbright fellowships(Peru, 79; Costa
Rica, 90). He believes that part of being a good teacher is being an
active artist/craftsperson, and he lends himself as a role model for his
students.
