Act fast, this is a terrific opportunity!
La Meridiana has been granted funding by the European Community for the
0rganisation of a workshop which covers the cost of travel,
accommodation, materials and teaching of the participants. It is a
unique opportunity for advanced or professional potters.
The workshop is to be held from April 16th - 24th, 2010. It will be
dealing with soda firing and will be taught by myself. (see description
below)
Applicants must fill out and send back the attached application form by
December 31st, 2009
Workshop description
http://www.lameridiana.fi.it/pottery_workshops_pietro_maddalena_15_10.html
The workshop is open for advanced or professional potters and ceramic
artists of any age who wish to expand their aesthetic and expressive
vocabulary and acquire tools and methodologies appropriate to this end.
During the studio sessions participants will produce thrown or hand
built work in stoneware. The chemistry of the soda firing process will
be explained and discussed thoroughly, to provide an understanding of
the process taking place in the soda kiln, increased through practical
experience.
Furthermore there will be exploration of communication via the web to
promote work, to find further learning tools and to communicate with the
broader ceramic community. The set up of a web-forum dedicated to the
contents of the workshop will give participants the opportunity to
experiment new ways of communication. Through participants contacts with
potter groups of various countries we hope to establish a transeuropean
network of ceramic artists.

Clayarters,
I've received some email suggesting that it "may not be available to
americans".
Please send any questions to Claudia at the La Meridiana address.
I have no association with this and can't answer any questions.
I'm just the messenger. ;-)
Also, note the cancelation clause if you can't come after all. You have
to prove "force majeure". If you can't, you have to rembourse them the
whole cost.

I've got a long term plan of making it back to Europe for some clay

Our EU clay buds should take advantage of this opportunity as I've

Now when are the applications due for the scholarships to Seagrove?

Booo! I can see restricting the scholarship, but the N. America is

I beg to differ Lee. One of the pioneers, Ruth Ann Tudball (wrote the
book) is working in Britain and Gail Nichols (wrote another book) is
working in Australia. For me, they are two of the best.
Both have done workshops at La Meridiana and Ruth Ann built the soda
kiln there during a workshop.

Two expat Americans. Yes, two of the best. I don't see how
that differs from what I said. I still don't see how not being open

David,
I'm a big proponent of international exchange. One of my
feedback ideas I included in my McKnight residency report, was the
suggestion that they increase the travel stipend for folks traveling
from overseas. This residency is only for people who live outside of
Minnesota.
My reasoning for this, is that it is very difficult,
especially if the grant money is primarily used up by air fare and
room and board. '
It is especially difficult for fulltime potters to get away, if
they can't take a university sabbatical or aren't otherwise
financially supported.
And aren't you calling the kettle black? You regularly
like to get personal, rather that dealing with substance. Going as
far as school boy pranks of screwing with people's tag lines.

I didn't say that. I said many of the best was outside the The
European community. Soda fire was invented in the US in the '70s, and
what is done here is very different than what is done in GB and
Austrailia. My exposure was through Jeff Oestrich, Mark Pharis,
Randy and Jan McKeachie-Johnston and Ruggles and Rankin. I believe
Randy's aesthetic was influenced by Shimaoka's yohen fired work. I
was struck by that while I apprenticed and fired the climbing kiln.
It would have been nice to know the workshop was a
restricted workshop when it was posted. I sent off notices to some
folks I thought would be interested before knowing that information
and had to write them back.
I was happy to meet Texan Ruthann Tudball when
Euan Craig showed here around Mashiko. The pot she gave Shimaoka
was placed in his dining room, right between a Kawaii and Hamada.
Euan does a different type of soda too.

Competitive shows are a different matter. Not as much a
situation of mutual exchange as a transaction between the
artist/curator/gallery.
When I lived in Mashiko, I helped several folks get into the
Mashiko International Competition. How it worked, was that folks
from overseas had to ship with the official shipper, unless their work
was delivered in person. That would cost several hundred dollars just
to send the work. So I offered to receive work from overseas and I
hand delivered them for folks, which made it affordable for them to
enter. Several folks got into the competition and one person won
a Judge's award. It helped her career take off in Japan.

>> EU folks only may apply for the scholarship. Does that mean that only
EU folks can participate in the event? <<
The 'scholarships' are for every position in the workshop so, yes
only EU residents can attend.
And lee, you said the best soda fire was made IN america, not BY
'expat' americans who haven't lived in the states in an extremely
long time. Gail moved from michigan to Australia as a child.
In addition, there are PLENTY of shows that I might be interested in
participating in but can't because I'm not a US resident or resident
of a particular state.
Shows, workshops, scholarships, grants, you have yours and we have
ours and sometimes they are international and overlap and it's all good.
