Artist bio:
Having practised as a ceramic artist since 2001, I predominantly create illustrative bone china tableware from my studio in Fireworks, Cardiff.
I’m always interested in continuing to attempt to further my creative application of my materials by experimenting with hand-building in porcelain, applying new printing techniques, pushing the boundaries of the translucency of bone china and porcelain through the medium of Lithophanes, developing my understanding of pattern and colour, without forgetting my first love of working with ink and watercolour.
Outline:
During this workshop, you will have hands on guiding tuition by our exhibiting artist Lowri Davies- who’s artwork we are proud to showcase in our current Merched ar Lestri exhibition, exploring the delicate world of porcelain. Individuals will receive instruction to work thinly with porcelain, maximising its translucent quality.
Taking reference from Lowri’s love of combining illustration and ceramics, you will be experimenting with black and blue mono-printing techniques creating patterned surfaces, along with scratching into plaster- from which you will develop into raised patterns on porcelain. These intricate objects will be fired by Lowri and then ready for you to take home at a later date.
This workshop is designed to be open to people of all artistic levels. Expert tuition will be provided by the artist, in order to help you come away with a unique artwork that you are truly proud of.

Bywgraffiad yr artist:
Lowri Davies
Rwy’n gweithio fel artist seramig ers 2001, ac ar hyn o bryd rwy’n gweithio o’m stiwdio yn Fireworks, Caerdydd. Rwy’n canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar greu llestri bwrdd tsieina sydd â darluniau arnynt.
Rwyf i bob amser yn awyddus i ddatblygu fy ngwaith creadigol, ac rwy’n gwneud hyn drwy arbrofi â phrosesau trin porslen â llaw, defnyddio technegau printio newydd, gwthio ffiniau tryloywder llestri tsieina a phorslen gyda Lithoffanau, datblygu fy nealltwriaeth o batrwm a lliw, heb anghofio’r hyn a wnaeth i mi syrthio mewn cariad â chelf i ddechrau, sef gweithio ag inc a dyfrlliw.
Crynodeb o’r Gweithdy:
Yn ystod y gweithdy hwn, byddwch chi’n cael hyfforddiant ymarferol gan Lowri Davies, un o’r artistiaid sy’n arddangos ei gwaith ar hyd o bryd fel rhan o’r arddangosfa Merched ar Lestri sy’n rhoi sylw i gelfyddyd gywrain porslen. Bydd unigolion yn cael cyfarwyddiadau i weithio â phorslen tenau er mwyn manteisio ar ei nodweddion tryloyw.
Gan gymryd ysbrydoliaeth gan dueddiad Lowri i gyfuno darlunio a serameg, byddwch chi’n cael cyfle i arbrofi â thechnegau printio mono du a glas er mwyn creu arwynebau patrymog i'w crafu ar blastr. Byddwch chi’n defnyddio’r plastr hwn i greu patrwm ar y porslen. Bydd y darnau cymhleth hyn yn cael eu crasu gan Lowri a byddant yn barod i chi fynd â nhw adref yn ddiweddarach.
