Victoria Pavlou: stoneware clay, magazine paper, wool, iron plexiglass Temperature of firing: 1200°C |
Victoria Pavlou, Cyprus A suitcase … a trip … everything in life is a trip … a happy trip leading to new adventures and experiences … a sad trip leaving behind loved ones … your home … your country. Nothing stays still … everything is moving …. And you … you need to take the challenge and make your mark.
In my art education classes, I invite students to embrace in a journey of exploration of their world, of their dreams, to imagine possibilities, to take risks, to be open to new experiences, to realize their potentials and to pursue their ambitions. In this artwork, I express my personal trip with my companion in life (the two ceramic birds). The suitcase is well used … it has travelled a long way, ‘lived’ many – mostly happy – moments. The umbrella and the shirt have provided us shelter from the rainy days, the red woolen skein indicates the joys we are looking forward to living with our kids, who are starting their journey (three paper birds).
Nothing stays still …
Nothing is taken for granted … |

An ornament is another subject matter |

Czech Republic
Ornamental sculpture size: 22 x 51 x 75 mm
material: Wood firing stoneware 1200 °C
I was taken by the possibility to ‘use’ sculpture in an unconventional way – to use it as a tool with which to create an image, which significantly extends the approach to this otherwise classical medium. My work has been influenced by my visit to a printing house, by the enchanting rotating cylinders, and by the link between a three-dimensional object and a printed area. Inspiration can be found anywhere, for example, in such a mundane phenomenon as the print of a tyre is. Printing of stamps leaves prints similar to patterns and ornaments. An ornament is another subject matter of my art production. Lately, I have been using Rapit prototyping as well as 3D printing in my work. |

Czech Republic www.robertbucek.cz
On Sundays; 1“ x 2“ x 3“; Wood firing stoneware with engobe 1200 °C. All my works are based in drawings. I draw intuitively following the images and feelings not only from the surrounding but mainly from the inner world. These records play the role of subjects for tiny clay models in which I seek the best proportion and composition while defining a feeling, a story, or a thought. Spatial expression is the most natural approach for me. The final work must always come from me through my hands. This process is most intensive when working with clay.

love the mud |

Spain http://esibit.com/rvives
I love the mud" is a small format work made specifically for this call. It responds to the inspiration in the theme of the exhibition that many art teachers share. The formal configuration follows the same line as other pieces. The hole as a symbolic form connects with the feminine world, of labour and even of nest, in a patient doing in relation to the generosity and fullness that invades us in the process of artistic creation |

Portugal 2 dwarfs to protect students during school time Earthenware clay; one fired: 1100º, engobes and transparent glaze Through ceramics I regain the prime elements of life : time; earth, water and fire, the wisdom of slowness, the magic of learning through making.In the beginning it was the water, and earth and fire. We made the objects of daily life; we made our symbolic objects, We transformed earth through fire, we have learn processes of transformation, we have built process of wondering through the humble materials of life , we had used arts for inquiring and learning.Through ceramics we can teach the elements of our humanity and the foundation of our cosmic nature. We celebrated life and death in clay ; we described our thoughs, our griefs; our wars; our lives with engobes and glazes; we communicated though small sculptures , humble shrines; little goods; functional objects, toys, writing tablets; large portals; geometric patterns in tile walls, simple objects of our histories coming from ancient times.

awareness , re-grow, regeneration Canada Title: When the Night Has No Right Size: 3” x 1” x 2” Material: Earthenware Firing: cone 03 When the Night Has No Right draws inspiration from the rocky landscape of the Canadian Shield, and from the lyrics of the Leonard Cohen song Amen: “Tell me again, When the day has been ransomed, And the night has no right to begin”. Veronika’s ceramic practice draws on her experience working in reforestation in the Canadian North. In these vast sylviculture sites, mechanical incursions mix with the strength and beauty of nature, and a constant air of devastation mixes with the possibility of magnificent regeneration. This phenomenon, drawn from a forestry landscape, mirrors the human condition : moments of dejection and despair are transitory, with re-growth and renewal just around the corner. |

creATING CONNECTIONS
Hannah Emily Jones
England Making connections between students and materials, techniques, processes and fellow artists; art education for me is about facilitating connections. For connecting students with these influences allows them to create something greater, as every connections builds, the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
My practice relies heavily on me connecting the dots, receiving all the possible information about a student to make rounded decisions over how best to facilitate their creative journey. Personalising learning in such a way allows me to see each student as the unique individual they are. This relates to the work as each 'dot' is handmade, making them one of a kind |
