  • Telegraph Hill Festival

    Recent artwork and pottery by your ceramics educators and kiln ladies

    As a part of Telegraph Hill Festival Open Studios Anna Baskakova, Lenka Kalafutova, and Tatiana Baskakova will present a small garden exhibition bringing together their recent pieces focusing on the exploration of body and ceramics as a medium.

    Lenka Kalafutova will show several mural pieces from Bleach me, a collaborative project with poet Adae and graphic designer Dusan Kacan, which stems from a personal desire to understand the experiences of queer persons and people of colour in different cultural contexts. Murals focusing on whiteness as a commercial ideal and erasure of identity came about as a part of this conversation.

    Anna Baskakova’s work have been reflecting on the fragility of body, and human resilience despite existing in the context of societal oppression and gendered relations. She works combining clays and colour slips to create pieces that explore material tension and illusions of delicacy.

    Tatiana Baskakova’s recent work continues on-going experiential research into materiality of the body and culture of community boxing. Artist’s body and ceramics sculpture are the dominant mediums to continue investigating matters of embodiment, gender and violence in sport. She will show new skipping rope pieces and performance work.

    Most recent handmade ceramic wares made by Ceramics Studio Co-op members will be available for sale.

  • Video: Cultural Cooperatives visiting Ceramics Studio Co-op

    Cultural Cooperatives Visiting Ceramics Studio Co-op from Cultural Coops on Vimeo.

    Work in the cultural sector is often precarious, exploitative and individualized – but what are the alternatives?

    Watch our visit to Ceramics Studio Coop and see how worker cooperatives in the cultural industries can challenge the way we work and create. It’s the first in a series of videos introducing cultural co-ops and exploring the politics of co-ops in the cultural sector.

    Follow us on Twitter @culturalcoops to find out when we launch cultural.coop, a website to collect resources about the co-operative model and to encourage collaboration and solidarity among cultural co-ops.

    Let’s open up the conversation about the struggles faced by cultural workers and share our stories of resistance.

    Makers in the Studio

    This is a short overview of the work that has been produced by artists and makers currently working in the studio. We are very proud to work with people displaying such a variety of creative talent and dedication to ceramic media.  It may not be the full presentation of what it going in the studio, and it is just in start in terms of where are we going in terms of the experiment, but we want to give you a change to see at least some results of artist’s effort.

    Some work that is presented below can be functional pieces and few of the things can be bought via artist’s personal Etsy shops. Although if you want to enquire about commissions or get in touch with artists – do not hesitate to contact the studio and we would be happy to help.
