Bill Abright Workshop Download

$50.00

Date: Saturday, Feb. 6th 2021

Time (PST): 1 pm – 4 pm

Price: $50

Description:

Bill Abright will discuss the evolution of his 50 year career in ceramics, and share his methods of creating uniquely abstracted figurative sculptures using thin plaster molds of fish, birds, faces, and figures. By composing thrown and extruded wet clay shapes into molds, he maintains the familiar proportions of his subjects while inventing his own interior complexity. Bill will discuss and demonstrate all stages of the process, including making thin plaster or FGR molds, throwing odd shapes, extruding clay sticks, assembling into the mold, drying, and firing. Pre-fired examples will allow him to continue using underglazes and cold finishes to demonstrate a completed sculpture.

Abright was introduced to clay by Bruce Duke at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton in the late 60's. He completed his graduate degree at San Francisco State in 1974 working with Bud McKee, Stephen De Staebler, Joe Hawley and David Kuraoka. Abright has taught ceramics at the College of Marin in Kentfield, CA since 1975 and has been influential in the lives of many artists. He has exhibited throughout the U.S. and his work is in many private and museum collections.
