<br />
Roelof Uys Senior Production Potter at the Leach Pottery <br />
<br />
Saturday November 23rd – 10.00 for 10.30am start…Ladock Village Hall, Ladock, TR2 4PG<br />
<br />
Roelof took up the role of Senior Production Potter at the Leach Pottery in May 2013. He studied Fine Art at East London Technical College, South Africa and founded his first ceramics studio in Limpopo Province in 1992, where he collaborated with potter Solomon Matatoko. He went on to work in Knysna as a Resident Potter at Bitou Crafts, founded by Clementina van der Walt, before starting his own production pottery in Cape Town, where he also served on the Committee of the Western Cape Potters Association. After leaving South Africa in 1998, Roelof worked for David Small at Four Seasons Pottery in North London before moving to St Ives in autumn 1999 where he worked as a Studio Potter at the Goalyard Studios founded by Leach apprentice John Bedding.<br />
<br />
As part of the Leach Pottery’s senior management team Roelof supervises the training of student apprentices, visiting interns and oversees the design and production of the new Leach Standard Ware.<br />
<br />
“It was a great honour for me to be offered the roll of Lead Potter here at the Leach and I hope to continue working in a tradition that has influenced and inspired so many artists from all over the world. I am always mindful that I stand on the shoulders of giants.” <br />

Saturday, March 30th, 10.30 for 11.00 am start, Ladock Village Hall TR2 4PG<br />
<br />
Two years ago Taja visited the CCGG to present his work and life as a potter in England, before giving us a truly inspiring practical workshop. Many members who were there hand built pots with porcelain clay prepared for the event by Taja, who then took them to his workshop to glaze and fire in his kiln for a nominal fee of £5.00 resulting in wonderful mementos of the day.<br />
<br />
By popular demand, Taja has kindly agreed to repeat his Masterclass on March 30th this year. If you wish to attend the day and be included in the practical session, or if you just wish to watch the masterclass, you will find joining details below. Please read carefully, as Taja has to plan the practical workshop. We therefore ask you to notify us beforehand if you wish to get your hands on porcelain.<br />
<br />
When Taja decided to use porcelain clay, fascinated by its whiteness and translucent property, he was fortunate in 2009 to have help from Arts Council UK to develop a porcelain blue glaze.<br />
“Most of my porcelain pieces are made from sliced porcelain slab clay. So the shape and size of each work is slightly different. It has an organic ceramic feel to it - gentle and warm. I also use porcelain coils to produce large one-off pieces. The glazes are made using my own porcelain blue glaze recipe, so called Seiji glaze (this literally means Porcelain Blue in Japanese). I use green and Tenmoku glaze for individual pieces to get a more dramatic effect .” <a href="http://www.tajaporcelain.com/">www.tajaporcelain.com</a><br />

Having arrived late, I found a seat at the back of the hall and began listening to the talk that<br />
had already begun. Max was telling the group about his work and the process of using<br />
moulds to create glass pieces. As a ceramicist I had come across mould making but had no<br />
idea that the addition of flint and fibre glass to plaster meant that moulds could be filled with<br />
glass and fired in a kiln. Max showed images of work he had made for a fashion shoot - large<br />
sculptural shapes of solid coloured glass that he had made using moulds taken from rocks.<br />
The results when lit to complement the clothes on the catwalk were truly stunning. I learnt<br />
that Max was going to run a workshop the following day that would provide an introduction<br />
to the process of using moulds to create glass pieces. It wasn't long before I found myself<br />
signing up.<br />
We met at Noreen's workshop and after the necessary talk on health and safety the<br />
information started to flow. Our aim was to make a shape from which a plaster mould could<br />
be made. This mould would later be filled with glass and fired in a kiln by Noreen with the<br />
finishing work to be done at a later date. I had taken a few readymade pieces of plastic that<br />
had simple curved shapes from which to make my mould. I was still thinking very much like<br />
a potter at this point and believed that my glass object would be hollow, as a mould made pot<br />
would be. When others were encouraged to embellish their shapes, using modelling, or leaves<br />
or in one case romanesque florets, I realised that with this process, unlike ceramics, it would<br />
be possible to have undercuts. This is because, after firing the mould would be broken away<br />
to reveal shapes that could be complex in all dimensions. Moulds for ceramics are usually<br />
capable of making many pieces from the same mould but with mould made glass all the effort<br />
of making the mould yields one piece only. So no pressure - the end result has<br />
got to be worth it!<br />
Noreen's studio is very well equipped and when our models were ready to be cast we went to<br />
a separate casting studio. I have always found the mixing of plaster to be a tense time. The<br />
quantities must be precise and the timing is crucial. Luckily Max was shouldering that<br />
responsibility and as we were casting several pieces with each mix of plaster the process was<br />
quick and straightforward.<br />
As a ceramicist I tend to dislike plaster. I find it unsympathetic to work with and it can easily<br />
contaminate clay with disastrous consequences. The only good thing about it is that it sets<br />
very quickly and so it wasn't long before we were working at the next stage of the process<br />
which was to remove the original form from its mould. Easier said than done in my case. One<br />
of my plastic elements had become stuck in the bottom of the mould and needed expert help<br />
to remove it. Then I needed to borrow someone's dental tool with a fine curved prong on the<br />
end in order to remove some clay I had used to create an undercut. All the while I was still<br />
trying not to think like a potter and to remind myself that the final piece would be a solid<br />
piece of glass.<br />
Those that had used the process before were introduced to core casting, a way of adding an<br />
extra element to their mould that would enable a hollow form to be made. I tried to eavesdrop<br />
whilst working away on my mould but soon realised that the complexities being explained<br />
were well beyond my beginner status.<br />
Filling the cleaned mould with glass sounds as if it should be straightforward, once the<br />
<br />
displacement measuring technique has been understood. However there were many factors to<br />
take into consideration when deciding which type of glass to use and which colours to<br />
combine. In the end I chose what Noreen described as her 'conservatory glass', largely<br />
because I liked the matt quality but also, I must admit, because the batch available had<br />
already been washed and was ready to use.<br />
The filled moulds were put in the kiln room to be fired, a date was set for the de-moulding<br />
day, I gathered up all my pages of barely legible notes and drove home - rather tired.<br />
For a ceramicist, opening a kiln door is always a mixture of anticipation and anxiety. Getting<br />
the glass out of the mould was a similar mix of feelings. It did seem strange to be literally<br />
breaking up the mould rather than to be treating it with care to be used again. Plaster that has<br />
been fired is a strange almost spongy substance. It is called ludo and can be incorporated in<br />
the next batch of plaster moulds to give additional strength.<br />
I was delighted with the glass that came out of my mould but was fully aware that it was the<br />
result of much help and a few happy accidents. I soon realised that, once the glass is out of<br />
the mould, then the real work begins. We were introduced to a wide range of tools and machinery with which to finish our pieces. I have never been a fan of loud noises and potentially dangerous equipment so was pleased that the only machine work my piece needed was a quick blast on a diamond surfaced spinning disc to make the base truly flat, and Noreen did that for me -<br />
thanks Noreen! I then used diamond sanding sponges and files to remove burrs and to soften any sharp edges.<br />
Others were more adventurous and had used colour to create interesting combinations and depth as the different coloured pieces of glass fused together. Discs were cut from their glass forms and polished using various grades and types of grit. I could see that the possibilities were endless. A final spray of silicon polish added a professional sheen to my piece and I drove home in the rain thinking that the subject of glass making had huge potential - and that I had barely scratched the surface.<br />

Sunday, November 18th, 11.00am – 4.00pm , Ladock Village Hall, Ladock,TR2 4PG<br />Tim Andrews is known internationally for his individual raku/smoke-fired and porcelain work. He has regular large exhibitions both in the UK and around the world and recently celebrated 40 years making and 25 years at his studio and gallery in Woodbury, East Devon. He has written two bestselling books on Raku ceramics and his pieces have been acqui<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">red for many museums and other public and private collections around the world including Arizona University and The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.<br />“The transformation of raw materials – mud to art – is a fascinating journey of evolutionary transition, peppered with risk-taking step changes. My own work represents an on-going dialogue between the technical sophistication of processes, serendipity, and timeless human qualities. After 40 years of making, my pieces have become more minimal in style; yet the simplicity and apparent effortlessness aimed for stems from a labour-intensive, unforgiving and demanding technique, together with a dramatic and intense firing process. Ultimately, for me, each piece has to justify its existence with a quiet, yet powerful, presence.”<br />Training originally with David Leach and then at Dartington, Tim has worked from his present studio and gallery in Woodbury, East Devon for the last twenty five years. He is a writer and exhibition curator and also teaches and lectures widely in the UK and abroad. He is a Fellow of the Crafts Potters Association of Great Britain and Honorary President of the Westcountry Potters Association.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our Cornwall Ceramics and Glass Group Annual General Meeting.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">Our group was inaugurated in 2004, one of its aims being "</span><span class="s1">To raise the profiles of Ceramics and Glass in Cornwall through events and activities"</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">Throughout the past 14 years the Committee has worked hard to continue with this objective and looking at the past years programme of workshops, presentations, visits and exhibitions, all well attended by members and their guests, I do feel we are fulfilling our commitment.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">Looking ahead to the next year's programme I<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>think you will agree that we are on track to continue to do so, and with membership numbers steadily rising I feel it is on line to be another interesting and exciting year...(list of events shown on power point).</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">The second aim is </span><span class="s1">"To promote high standards in Cornish Pottery, Ceramics and Glass".</span><span class="s2"> (slide)</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">Having seen the ceramics and glass on display at our Fowey Exhibition in May, I and many other visitors could see that high standards are being achieved in making, glazing, firing and presentation of finished work, both in ceramics and glass.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">On Saturday October 20th our next exhibition of Ceramics and Glass at The Lifeboat Gallery in Porthleven opens. I do hope that members and friends will support our exhibiting members and see for themselves that our second aim is fully augmented. That evening from 5.30 to 8pm will give you a chance to sip some wine whilst you meet the makers. The majority of us enjoy talking about this process, including the odd disaster, and are always happy to advise on technical matters.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">The third aim is "</span><span class="s1">To create educational and social opportunities for members".</span><span class="s2"> (slide) Here today, we are socialising whilst our caterer is preparing a delicious lunch. At this point I would like to thank Carol Scott for organising this comfortable venue and Danka Napiorkowska for arranging our lunch.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">This morning thanks to Max Jacquard's presentation we have learnt about his currant work and inspirations and a number of you have chosen to do a workshop with him tomorrow. This afternoon we are looking forward to seeing Jenny Beavan's presentation.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">Not just today, but throughout the year we have had wonderfully informative experts arriving, huge boxes in tow, to tell us about their working practices, and to demonstrate their skills plus we have the bonus of handling some of the beautiful examples of their finished work they have for sale.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">The film day, studio visits, raku making and raku and pit firing days are yet examples of educational and social opportunities for members and guests of CCGG. The sun always shines<span class="Apple-converted-space"> f</span></span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">or us (especially on the film day!) and the Committee has always received great,positive feedback from these events.</span></div>

<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The Committee </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">The Cornwall and Ceramics Group has a dedicated Committee which meets throughout the year to plan events. I do hope that we appear friendly, approachable and supportive of you as fellow members.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2">As a committee we were sorry that </span><span class="s1">Paul Finlay</span><span class="s2"> retired as Chairman and I thank you Paul for all your hard work and enthusiasm and we are delighted that you continue to support our events and joined our sub-committee with Heather, John and Noreen to organise this year's exhibition in Porthleven.</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Karen Simpson</span><span class="s2"> retired earlier this year after many years on our Committee.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We are sad to see </span><span class="s1">Brenda Albert, Fran Osborne, and Carol Scott</span><span class="s2"> step down. On behalf of CCGG I would like to thank them for their generous support not only given to me and everyone on the committee but also to all the members. Between the three of them they have given a total of more than 30 year's service. You will all be missed greatly and I do hope that you will still visit and enjoy our programme of events. (clap).</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s2"></span><br /></div>

They are so close to having the funds to open the pottery to the rear of the Poly - they have the kilns, equipment, wheels, space and a very experienced pottery manager, but need to raise the final £3,500 to get the power supply and ventilation. When open it will offer workspace for 5 makers, community courses for clients of local charities, like St Petrocs, pottery courses, 1:1 throwing tuition, and kiln firing service. They have set up a silent auction on <b><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en-GB&q=http://www.jumblebee.co.uk/polypotterysilentauction&source=gmail&ust=1524585913117000&usg=AFQjCNEyx_M5CBHcG8Jc_6lzz9DqML4LSg" href="http://www.jumblebee.co.uk/polypotterysilentauction" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.jumblebee.co.uk/polypot<wbr></wbr>terysilentauction</a>.</b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Another highly successful and social day of decorating and firing Raku ware in the CCGG wood fired kiln at Nina Ducker's place in Feock. The weather was fine and the results were pleasing especially for those who have never fired Raku before. Alongside the Raku firing we made a pit firing and some spectacular results came out a week later. Always unexpected but always great fun. Thanks to Nina, Rod, Lynn , John and all who help make this an excellent CCGG day. We made a lot, learned a lot, ate a lot and and took home some memorable pots.</span></div>

I am going to build myself a small raku kiln using wire mesh and ceramic fibre. I'm desperately trying to source some second hand equipment if I can find it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I need the burner (pref. with a stand), hose, regulator, thermocouple and pyrometer. I will also need tongs, gauntlets,leather apron, mask, nichrome wire, ceramic buttons (can make these myself though) and about 10 fire bricks.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Five years now in the Chair and I never tire of the series of events we have put on and I am always thrilled to meet and see our visiting artists demonstrate or talk about their craft. I am sure that like me you have learned much and been inspired by our visitors. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Again our membership has grown in the past year and looking back at the records I see we have almost doubled the number of members in the last ten years. Attendance at events is up especially when we have renowned artists such as Lisa Hammond (honoured with an MBE after visiting us!) and Phil Rogers. And we have not neglected other more specialised interests such as studio visits and practical members’ days. These we will continue so that we can practice what others preach. There is wealth of skill in the CCGG and we hope we can pass this on from member to member. We will continue to attract leading artists and stage attractive craft based social events to meet you varied interests. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Your committee has worked tirelessly to maintain the standards breadth of interests at the CCGG fitting in with the full lives we all lead. There is great satisfaction to be gained from the increasing membership and the appreciative comments we hear after our events. Some committee members have served the CCGG for many years and will inevitably need to hand on to others before too long so I would ask and urge any members with and interest and some time to put themselves forward to take the CCGG into the future. The three members who joined last year, Sally, Fran and Paul have made an inviable contribution and I thank them. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">It is not an onerous task being a committee member; committee meetings are held every two months at Ladock for about two hours and homemade cakes are served! </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Arranging members’ events is the main responsibility of the committee and in doing so we are very aware that we have a membership with differing interests, commitments to craft and involvement with the CCGG so I would once again like to re-iterate the simple aims of our constitution.</span></div>
<ul>
<li class="li5"><span class="s2"></span><span class="s1">To raise the profile of ceramics and glass in Cornwall through events and activities.</span></li>
<li class="li5"><span class="s2"></span><span class="s1">To promote high standards in ceramics and glass.</span></li>
<li class="li5"><span class="s2"></span><span class="s1">To create educational and social opportunities for members.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p6">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">I think we have, to date, managed to find a good balance of events that involve international artist, social practical days and access to artists’ studios but we welcome suggestions and ideas from members so we can meet your needs. Equally if we are not meeting your needs please let us know. You have an energetic and responsive committee and they will be more than eager to rope you in to help or modify their efforts. Talk to us or email us at <a href="mailto:ccggwebmail@googlemail.com"><span class="s3">ccggwebmail@googlemail.com</span></a></span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">Last year’s revival of a Members’ Exhibition at Bodmin, though not a great commercial success, proved to be an excellent opportunity to see other members’ work. This year we are repeating the experiment but in the western part of the county, at Porthleven. If this proves successful we would hope to repeat the event in 2017. For the Porthleven exhibition we have 18 members exhibiting so I hope you will tell all your friends and bring them to Porthleven during the week of the exhibition.</span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">In the coming year there will again be a full calendar of events where I hope as many members can meet and share their ideas, experience and love of ceramics and glass. Something for everyone I hope.</span></div>
<div class="p7">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">So we look forward to another successful year when, with your support, we hope to provide entertainment, inspiration and enjoyment with ceramics and glass.</span></div>
