A Masterclass with Simone ten Hompel
Make • Undo • Amend
Course aims and benefits
The manner in which artefacts become realised, through the pattern of making, and how or where this could be shifted, will be key to this workshop. This will be achieved by starting with the makers own voice and through a collection of pieces (initially brought in by participants). As the class progresses, the participants will analyze content and procedures (through ‘opening and unfastening’) and turning formed habits into new behaviours.
In discussion, through reading the work and thereby gaining rich description(*) of their meaning, we discover ‘Who am I as a maker’? In so doing we replace the verbal expression of the maker and allow the artefacts to speak through metal (and other materials).
Inevitably there will be a degree of collective exploring and experimenting of ideas; however the aim is to facilitate an enhanced understanding of the participant’s methods in regards to "thinking through making"(**).
(*) In anthropology and other fields, a thick description of a human behaviour is one that explains not just the behaviour but its context as well, such that the behaviour becomes meaningful to an outsider. Wikipedia
(**) "Every good craftsman conducts a dialogue between concrete practices and thinking; this dialogue evolves into sustaining habits, and these habits establish a rhythm between problem solving and problem finding."
Richard Sennett.
The 5-day workshop is concerned with:
• Seeing, exploring and the sense of making.
• Reflecting on previous works, in terms of the construct of the pieces.
• Moreover the content of a piece and the relevance of their context.
• Discovering meaning through making.
• Investigating appropriate metals or materials, which relate to the idea or object.
• Reflecting on the ‘stuff’ that is made in the workshop.
• How and what is the construct of the pieces?
The tutor, Simone ten Hompel, is a winner of the 2005 Jerwood prize for Applied Art in Metal.
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for mid career professionals. Basic making knowledge of working with metal and other materials is useful.
