III Edition Ceramic&Colours Award - Faenza Italy 2020

ceramiccolours-award2020 The Faenza Art Ceramic Center announces the third edition of the "Ceramic&Colours Award", a ceramic competition with the aim of promoting and enhancing the research in the field of ceramic glazes for the finishing of ceramic objects.

For 2020 edition the "Crystalline glaze" effect has been selected.

Description
It is a kind of finishing of ceramic glass surfaces that can be developed both at high and low temperature, whose main characteristic is the formation of macro crystals that can be easily seen with naked eyes. All matt or satin surfaces, that in many cases can turn out because of a devitrification of the glazes during the cooling process, are therefore excluded from the competition. We would like to highlight that because of the technical nature of the competition, the technical committee will mainly take into account the artworks that will better develop the potential of this theme and its complexity: the size of the crystals, chromatism and chemical nature of the crystallization caused by zinc, molybdenum, vanadium, wolfram, titanium, lithium, etc.

Future Lights in Ceramics competition 2020

Theme

The theme for Future Lights 2020 is: The spirit of Bauhaus.

Background

"What was the Bauhaus spirit about? Was it just the functional aspect, combining the idea of the handcrafted with a new demand: the authentic, the non-ornamental, the timeless. The philosophy of the Bauhaus was even more than this. It combined the power of the craftsmanship with the strong will to create the modern, the ability to work in a kind of experimental space and reflection leading to true goods and convincing industrial series.
