Last weekend I was pleased to host Antoinette Badenhorst for weekend
porcelain workshop with my intermediate and advanced students.
Antoinette and I had talked about a workshop when we met at the last NCECA
conference. I knew right away I wanted to come and share her experiences an=
d
expertise working with porcelain with my students.
First day was about working with porcelain on the wheel and sharing stories=
.
She stressed the importance of fully understanding the media, whether
working with porcelain or any other clay body.
Second day was handbuilding, trimming and altering the thrown forms,
carefully paying full attention to all aspects seeking forms that flowed an=
d
had a life of their own.
Typical of student comments about the workshop:
"I would recommend her workshop to others and attend another myself. She
seems very knowledgeable, very personable, patient, passionate, good sense
of humor and eager to share her experience and knowledge."
" I have learned a lot from this workshop. Antoinette is a very inspiring
and powerful artist. She showed us the steps to make her beautiful pieces
and demonstrated how her life and her personality have influenced her work.
Each of her pieces shows her life and her personality. They are all
exquisite and beautiful. I am very impressed."
I was also very impressed with the manner she presented the material,
inviting and addressing student questions throughout the workshop and the
skill she demonstrated working with porcelain.
For those of you considering or planning workshops for students or at
community centers I would highly recommend you book Antoinette - you won't
be disappointed!

Thank you for your very kind words and the opportunity Bill. I had so much
fun. You are a great host, and fine teacher. You and your students allowed
me to be myself and teach in the relaxed atmosphere of a very neatly
organized ceramic studio. Not one single moment was dull. Maybe we will do
this again in future.
Please thank everyone for their kindness. Will you....?
Best wishes.

Bill, I will second that! I had the great pleasure to work with Antoinette
for several months and a strong friendship for almost a decade. She shares
her knowledge at the drop of a hat and can mesmerize you with her skill at
the wheel. I have a collection of her pit fired porcelain and well as
several of her water etched porcelain pieces. I have learned a lot from he=
r
generosity.
