Art Event 1

I attended an art event that featured a visiting artist named Martina Lantin.  She showed those of us who attended some of the plates and tiles she had made previously.  I thought it was interesting that some of the plates had words from newspapers printed on them.  She did a demonstration of how to make this type of work, and she discussed how to use slips in order to do layering, which is similar to how it is used in printmaking.  She also discussed her experiences using electric and wood kilns.
In addition to her discussion and demonstration, she handed out pictures of her previous works.  One of the pictures depicted a few pitchers that were wood fired.  These pitchers had a unique elongated shape and had various patterns, including striped patterns.  Another picture showed her ceramic art, which included mugs, plates, and pitchers, and it highlighted the many unique designs she incorporated.
