I’ve heard about people making collaborative art, but often it involves murals, or maybe separately created quilt squares all stitched together. In ceramics you hear about partnerships where one person throws the pot and another person decorates it, similar to production pottery with a division of duties.
At a workshop, David Dunlop talked about how he and his artist son, Max, collaborated on paintings. He would start a painting and then hand it over to his son, who he described as being much more abstract in his approach.
Today Gillum (G) and Moore (M) tried a Dunlop-like collaborative approach to creating some clay sculptures. M took a chunk of clay and made a rough form. Then she handed it to G to refine and add creative details. Whenever there was uncertainty or an obstacle (ok, a phone call), the other person took over.
Within a few hours they hailed five quirky creatures ready for raku. Not bad for a first try.
Photos pending.
