Master Classes 2009: Session 2 |
This class will explore the amazing world of colour and colour combination, looking at the way in which different and diverse cultures throughout the world approach colour from India to Japan and from Africa and South America to Scandinavia. We will investigate a personal and instinctive approach to colour without delving into formal theory of any kind. Our study of colour will centre on flowers, one of the most varied and intense sources of colour on our planet. |
| The class will concentrate on kiln work and will take full advantage of the Bullseye palette of colour. In the Alastair Pilkington shop the ample kiln facilities will allow us to explore innovative processes and techniques as we experiment with the influence of colour. As a group we will discuss, witness and enjoy the power and transforming qualities of colour. You should bring a wide open mind and a willingness to value the power and transforming qualities of colour. |  |

Kaffe Fassett is an American artist who is best known for his colourful designs for needlepoint, patchworks, knitting, textiles, theatre design, garden design and ceramics. Colour is his very medium, whatever substance he uses. He has lived in England since 1964. Fassett's work has attracted a considerable following and was the subject of a 1988 one-man show at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. It was the first time a living textile artist had had such a show there. Fassett is the author of many books and has been involved in numerous radio and television broadcasts. |
| Steve Klein is a respected and successful studio artist based in Los Angeles. He also teaches workshops internationally in Europe, Asia and the United States and has taught before at North Lands. In creating a wide variety of imagery in his work he uses shape, colour, stripes, line, texture and the incomparable reflection of light that only glass can provide. Having spent a good deal of time in Caithness some of his work is inspired by the spectacular seascapes and landscapes in the region. Other thematic works address issues of balance, its fragility and the wider context in which it relates to human issues such as memory and key moments in life. |  |
