The Holy Grail of Translucency ( Gaya newsletter, April )

With quiet diligence, RA Willy van Bussel continues on his quest for the Absolute in eggshell thinness and harmoniously balanced forms. A shelf full of exquisite chalices already await the next layer of his patient brilliance: the detailed yet intuitive application of an overlapping matrix of straight lines of surgical tape—the resistant screen that will mask the clay from a thin layer of saturated slip pigment sprayed on. For multiple colors, each interim layer will be re-bisqued fired before moving forth. Exact precision. Le Corbusier in clay.

Newsletter Gaya, Mai

Resident Artist Willy van Bussel’s opening exhibition was a joyous success that brought together the best elements of everything Gaya CAC has nurtured all these years: beautiful hand-crafted ceramic artwork, creative inspiration for all to feel enlivened by, and a truly amazing community. As we sent off Willy and his wife, Els, there was a tear in everyone’s eye—but we don’t ever wave goodbye here really—only “Sampai jumpa lagi” (until we meet again…)!
