Ceramics Workshop with Madoda Fani

OVERVIEW

Inspired by his South African heritage, Madoda works on a large scale, building organic-shaped vessels with smooth surfaces punctuated by intricate, repetitive patterns. His hand-coiled, burnished and smoke-fired pieces are a contemporary evolution of traditional Zulu ceramics, and his curvaceous forms with hand-carved embellishments are entirely distinct.

WORKSHOP OUTLINE

The workshop will run for 6 hours, commencing at Denmark CRC Gallery at 10am and concluding at the ArtsHouse at 4pm.

During the workshop, Madoda will present a number of works (via photographic images) in progress to illustrate his process and technique.

Participants will receive a slab of clay to mould and follow along as Madoda demonstrates and instructs on the various stages of coiling, carving and burnishing.
