Looking for a temp ceramic studio in Gowanus area


I am not quite ready to rent a space full time yet but I am looking for a ceramics studio in Gowanus (or any nearby neighborhood) to do some experimental projects; porcelain slip casting, and firing (cone 5-8) on an hourly basis + firing fees. If anyone you know is open to this arrangement, please email me at tse.jac@gmail.com

Thank you so much in advance for your time!

Best,
Jacqueline

Chantel Woodman will be giving a talk about her work:

Chantel Woodman is a Cape Town based artist-designer, with a multidisciplinary 
background in design, metal smiting and sculpture – a diverse skill set, which has 
culminated in a unique and experimental approach to ceramics.
Woodman started her career as a jewellery designer in 2003.  In 2008 she was 
introduced to sculpting by renowned local Cape Town artist Stefan Blom, whom 
helped develop her skills and gave her the tools to express her love for figure and 
form.

Chantel’s work has been selected as part of ‘World Design Capital 2014’ ‘Month Of 
Ceramics’.  She has also exhibited through Galleries and Design shows such as 
Southern Guild, Bronze Age, Ebony Gallery as well as Glaugair Berlin, Germany.  
Chantel is currently in New York City for her latest show, in collaboration with 
artist, Frans Smit - ‘New Africa, South York’.

I draw inspiration from my immediate surroundings of urban design and modern 
architecture, simultaneously testing the boundaries of material sensitivities with a 
playful engagement of various metals and clay discovering the tension between 
the visible and invisible.  The process is inquisitive and unique.

Teaching Job Open in Yonkers NY

Sent to Tony Moore

Hi Tony,


I'm wondering if you know of anyone in the lower Westchester / Bronx area
who may looking for pottery work. In particular, I'm looking to add a
teacher or two in the very near future. If you know of anyone interested,
I'm open to the possibility of compensating with studio space.

Thanks for your time.

About WAH Bridges Self:
WAH Bridges Self is a multi-media group exhibition dedicated to presenting the work of artists seeking to express, define, and complicate the notion of self-expression. Based on the Bridge Concept envisioned by WAH Center Founder & Artistic Director, Yuko Nii, the aim is to create a bridge between the WAH Center and the chosen artists’ self-expression, and through the works shown, to create a bridge between the artists themselves. These works explore the myriad ways in which artists use their work to express interiority and the methods through which they define and represent themselves. WAH Bridges Self is an open deliberation considering the nature of how we use art to represent ourselves and how creative process defines or shapes our self-perception. 

Participating Artists:
Jacob Ackerson, Eleanor Adam, Kayo Albert, Ayako Bando, Helene Berson, Benjamin Bohnsack, Bienvenido Bones Banez Jr., Jana Charl, Cecilia Charlton, JF Cook, Daniel Crews, Valeriy Dyshlov, Julie Eisenberg Pittman, Marcella Ernest, Mary Fagan, Naoaki Funyayama, Glen Goodenough, Mikhail Gubin, Haechang Sun, Susan Handewerker, Natsuko Hattori, Rachel Heinold, Iku Higuchi, Che Min Hsiao, Susan Jacobs, Annette Jaret, Cornelia Jensen, Yuko K, Michelle Avery Konczyk, Frank Krasicki, Gudrun Latten, Imara Moore, Wendy Moss, Kenichi Nakajima, Soumya Netrabile, Sara Nili, Katsura Okada, Yasuaki Okamoto, Lauren Packard, Cathleen Parra, Bruno Perillo, Donna Powers, Tina Psoinos, Nancy Raen-Mendez, Bryan Reedy, Sweet Samson, Larry Scaturro, Amanda Scotto, Tingleguts, Hui Tsai, Jania Vanderwerff, Jeff Watts, Joshua Weeks, Aneta Wegrzyn, Yookan Westfield, Mary Westring

In late October 1996, Yuko Nii founded the not-for-profit WAH Center (Williamsburg Art & Historical Center) based upon her Bridge Concept. That concept envisions a multifaceted, multicultural art center whose mission is to coalesce the diverse artistic community, and create a bridge between local, national and international artists, emerging and established artists, and artists of all disciplines. Thus, through the internatinal language of art we come to understand each other to create a more peaceful and integrated world. The WAH Center is a force for peace and understanding and its concept is incorporated in its acronym: “WAH” in Japanese means “peace” or “harmony” or “unity”.
