From 1996-2000, Torbjørn Kvasbø was the Professor and Head of the Ceramics Department at the University of Gothenburg, Swe- den. From 2000-2008, he was Professor and Head of the Ceramic

and Glass Department at Konstfack, Stock- holm, Sweden. Since 2014, Torbjorn has been the elected Vice President of the IAC. He has been involved with numerous solo and group exhibitions, residencies, juries, workshops and lectures nationally and inter- nationally. Torbjorn is represented in many museums and collections, both national and international. He lives and works in Venabygd, Norway.

The taut bowstring between an explosion of power and vulnerability that is held at breaking point, in a continuous dialogue between mind, body and clay. All are combined to create a readable whole – the encounters, proportions and precision striking a perfect balance: like a killer punch to the solar plexus. The process remains a continuous dialogue between knowledge, practice and cruel critical reflection.

Kukuli Velarde was born in Peru to parents who urged her to cre- ate from a young age. At age 22, she left her native country to study art in Mexico before relocating to New York City in 1987 where she earned her Bachelor’s degree at Hunter College.

Today, Velarde lives and works in Philadelphia where she cre- ates striking visual pieces — sculptures, mostly — that reflect her indigenous heritage, a deep knowledge of art history, and an eye for the unconventional

I will make a few slabs, cut them in strips and build a figure with them. I will use a mold made from a head I did of my daughter for a new series titled A MI VIDA. I will show how I work, using as example building a piece of that series.

Jeff Oestreich discovered clay when he was a senior in high school in 1964. At Bemidji State College, in northern Minnesota, Ceramics 101 answered the question of his life’s work. From there, he enrolled at the University of Minnesota to work under Warren MacKenzie. A few days after graduation he was on a plane to St. Ives, England to apprentice under Bernard Leach, the founder of the studio pottery movement. He set up his first pottery in Wis- consin, later relocating to Minnesota in 1974. His passion for shar- ing ideas and techniques have brought him to England, Scotland, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. He exhibits regularly and recently returned to the Leach Pottery to work and exhibit.

This demonstration explores the various methods of manipulating wheel thrown forms by faceting, darting, scalloping, cutting and reassembling. The first morning will be the throwing of these basic forms. The second day will be assembling and trimming of these shapes. Functional forms such as teabowls, pitchers and serving pieces will be the focus. Attention to detail is the central theme.

Aysha Peltz’s pottery explores imagined space, scale and the poetic properties of the ceramic medium. She is a studio potter and faculty at Bennington College in Vermont. Peltz and her hus- band, Todd Wahlstrom, also own and operate StudioPro Bats. She received her BFA and MFA from Alfred University.

Working with clay is like a conversation and a newly thrown pot is like a statement that, for me, cannot go unanswered. The answer might be to push, cut, rip, texture or facet. In this demonstration, I will engage in a conversation beginning with a newly thrown porcelain pot, addressing it while still wet on the wheel, seeking to capture expressive moments

Ab Herbst 2019 widmet das Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt seine gesamte Ausstellungsfläche Norwegen, dem Ehrengast der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2019. Als HOUSE OF NORWAY versammelt es herausragende Positionen aus Kunst, Design, Kunsthandwerk und Architektur. Ein Highlight der Schau bilden noch nie gezeigte grafische Arbeiten von Edvard Munch. Zu entdecken gibt es außerdem Werke von zeitgenössischen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern. Einblicke in die Kunst und Kultur der Sámi geben ein Gastspiel des Sámi National Theatre Beaivváš sowie künstlerische Positionen etwa von Jørn Are Keskitalo, Britta Marakatt-Labba oder Máret Ánne Sara. Begegnen wird man auch wichtigen norwegischen Gestalterinnen und Gestaltern wie Regine Juhls, Torbjørn Kvasbø, Peter Opsvik, Grete Prytz Kittelsen und Tone Vigeland. Beispiele aus der Architektur, etwa von Sverre Fehn oder Joar Nango, aus dem Bereich des Social Design sowie zeitgenössische Impulse aus Mode und neuer nordischer Küche stehen für eine kreative Auseinandersetzung mit einer Welt im Wandel.
