During the period of stay in the art centre Margreet Huisman started two
experimental workshops to test to plan of a new series of workshops. At
the same time she takes part in the discussion to create a good artistic field
during all seasons in the art centre. With her expertise in the field of ceramic
and international cooperation and contacts it is possible to open new
perspectives for starting different ceramic projects during the year. The aim is
to open the area for new experiments and introduce new groups of interested
people to visit the district.
As a part of her period in the art centre the start of the project ART ENLARGES
THE AREA is celebrated with a successful 'open field' evening on August 12
2006.
Series of workshops with experimental paper kilns in different times of the year and new experiences in ceramic firing in the fields of Saksala.
Art centre Saksala ArtRadius is planning experimental ceramic kiln projects during 2007.
This paper kilns are giving the possibility to start experiences with unique ceramic works.
Testing special effects of glazes, mix of clay, additives in and on the clay are more simple than in a conventional kiln.
This paper kilns are easy to build and can be used by different groups of ceramists on all kind of places outside.
The knowledge how to build and how to manipulate the fire, the construction and the green ware can build up by the experiences.
One part of the project is creating an installation with series of paper kilns in a grid in winter time as in the darkness the glowing cones are shown. This artistic part will be a visual promotion for the experiments with ceramic kilns and invite to take part in it.
The work on the paper kilns takes 4-7 days per session, depending on the number of kilns build in the field.
A second plan is to create in winter time a grid of paper kilns by the artist
and register the effects of it on the landscape.
A third plan is to build with bricks huge figures which can stay for years to
change in the time by the influence of the weather. This brick project will be
done in Finland by artists working with this typical material and there will be
an exchange with Finnish artists who can use the typical Finnish hirsi.
This should be an Dutch-Finnish exchange project, maybe later add with other
countries.
The plans are under construction and during the months the results will be clear
and published
