Welcome to our workshop and performance series!
Niki Johnson, Chayla Ueckert-Smith, and Roxanne Nesbitt are of the international collective Ceramic Music, and together they will host the intimate workshop and concert series exploring the design, and creation, and sonic exploration of ceramic instruments.
Starting with workshops and digital slide presentations held by Chayla and Roxanne, the night will move into demonstrations, performances by Niki of original scores by Chayla and Roxanne, and end with questions and conversation over glasses of wine.
Workshops ~ The workshops will be conducted by Chayla and Roxanne. During the workshops they will discuss how to design and make percussion instruments from ceramics with accompanying digital slide presentations. Some of the topics covered include: the function of glaze, how to tune ceramic objects to specific frequencies, the interior form, the firing temperature, and types of ceramic material.
Concert ~ The workshops will be followed by two solo performances by Niki Johnson, where she will perform pieces written by Roxanne and Chayla for their instruments.
….We hope you can join us this coming January 2020.
