Lidia Boševski workshop - Texture database - Clay and wood

The fourth open workshop

of Association Terracotta continues the work on the project by Lidia Boševski

In the fourth Terakota workshop we worked with wood textures (branches, sections, bark)

Participants created prints for the database of textures and the prints

that will be designed so that they can serve as a ceramics tools.

Each student created an object inspired by a form from the nature

with wood texture applied on it.

Soil and wood are inseparable, so the clay welcomes cellulose – if joined, they can form a new material. Wood/cellulose we may find in the paper, material ubiquitous in our everyday life.

At the end of this workshop everyone created a sample of paper from wood pulp found in the woods and recycled paper.

Lidia Boševski workshop - Texture database - Clay and stone

Report from the 2nd workshop
which was held at Lidia Boševski atelier Owl in December 2013.
With this 2nd workshop Lidia started her project under the working title
“Database of textures from the nature”.

Lidia’s idea of a database of textures developed over a period of ten years, through intense being in nature, collecting various materials (bark, branches, seeds, stones, leaves), photographing, using specific fragments as tools, and organizing the workshop “Ceramic herbarium” in the Botanical garden in Zagreb. In order to bring the collected material into a meaningful whole, Lidia has decided to create systematically, over a longer period and with the help of the Terracotta workshop participants, a database that would serve as a reminder, a creative connection with nature, as inspiration and a potential collection of working tools.

The workshop opens the database with selected stones and their graphics.

Lidia Boševski workshop - painting with clay

Last year in October I attended first organized workshop at Lidia Boševski atelier.

I meet Lidia two years ago and from the first moment I fell in love with her work and I fell in love with clay.

From there it all began.

This workshop was organized as a part of a Teracotta Association (Udruga Terakota).

Terracotta is a nonprofit association established to encourage artistic experiment,

research in materials and exchanges in the field of ceramics and related arts.

It was held by Lidia Boševski and her collaborators Sanja Lovrenčić and Nataša Ninić.

Japanese Ceramic Artist Shinobu Hashimoto

Shinobu was born in Tokyo in 1969, and set up Tenstone studio and gallery in Hokkaido, Japan. His aim is to create ceramics that suit our modern lifestyle, keeping the design simple with only a few embellishments, staying true to the original texture and form. You can definitely see his hard work and eye for detail prevail in the final works, each is made on the wheel and then finished with a mixture of his own special techniques.
