Opening Saturday, March 2 at 4 p.m. by Jonas Vansteenkiste, head of Ceramics Department at Rietveld Academy.
Ceramics is hot! And not only because it is fired so hot, but especially because it is such a fantastic material with almost inexhaustible possibilities for making a sculpture. Techniques and forms of expression are almost limitless. From snow white to ink black and all colors in between, matte or glossy, figurative or abstract, traditional, rough or very delicate, whatever an artist comes up with (and these are often very special sculptures) everything seems possible with clay and porcelain. Clay and porcelain are magical materials that, under the hands of the artist, transform from an unformed lump into magnificent sculptures.
