Masterclass with Kathy Butterly
Visiting with the support of AIDA (Association of Israel Decorative Arts)
Sunday 25/12/16 at 16:00
Kathy Butterly is a prize winning artist from the USA and holds a Masters degree from Davis University in California. She lives and works in New York City and has exhibited in countless exhibitions. She is considered an outstanding and innovative artist of her generation.
Butterly describes herself as a painter of 3 dimensional volumes using clay. She blurs the borders between craft and contemporary art to make unique, original, sensuous works that are colorful and imaginative. They begin as wheel thrown objects that are familiar which she manipulates and with delicate nuances extends the boundaries and breaks the rules. Her works are small in size but are powerful in their ability to convey humor and horror, temptation and disgust, succeeding in transforming something familiar to weird and wonderful.

Wednesday 4/1/17 at 16:30
Jin Eui Kim
Kim is an internationally renowned ceramic artist. Originally from South Korea, he now lives in Cardiff, UK. Whilst at Cardiff School of Art & Design Jin Eui studied the illusory effects of the application of tonal bands to three-dimensional surfaces. He graduated with a MA and PhD in Ceramics
Exploration with tonal effects and spatial illusions by using gradient in tone, width of bands and interval between bands is Jin Eui’s passion that results in works that are both visually and intellectually challenging. In the words of the artist:: “Touching is the only way of revealing”
Ray Silverman
Ray is a potter, born and raised in London. He began studying ceramics at an early age and had the good fortune to specialize with Lucie Rie and Hans Coper. He lived in Israel between the years 1968 – 71 and worked as a senior designer in the Lapid ceramic factory. For many years he was a senior lecturer at Goldsmiths College and specialised in developing glazed with unique texture that simulated natural landscapes. He makes wheel thrown objects with forms inspired by his teachers using glazes from his in depth research over the years.
