Artist's Statement
An innovative artist and art educator for more than thirty years, Syma has recently returned to New York City, after living in London, England, for nearly four years. While in the UK, she maintained a studio at Cockpit Arts. Currently a freelance Artist/Lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she is also available as a visiting artist in New York City through ARTS CONNECTION. Syma has set up her new ceramic studio at Tribeca Pottery in Manhattan and is currently at work on a sculpted tile commision for private home in Hull and a clay and mixed media mural for the South Shore Natural Science Center in Norwell, MA, as well as works for galleries and shops. Current Work
Current studio ceramics - smoke-fired ‘Bottomless Vessels to Hold Change’ and ‘Angel Panels’ for the wall. Available for lectures, demonstrations, workshops, as visiting artist or artist-in-residence. Syma sells small works on line at www.etsy.com/shop/symasmallworks Technical Information
For the studio ceramics I use earthenware or stoneware clays bisque fired to 999C. Leaving large areas of bare clay, underglazes and glazes are applied and re-fired as many times as necessary - to 999C. Pieces are then smoke-fired in a metal barrel (bin?) and after cleaning, drying, and sealing, gilded with 23 or 24 k. Gold leaf. Background History
