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.
