This exhibition "is a triennale held at ‘Mino’, the major production area of ceramics in Japan.

It is a big project that happens in Mino and spreads nationwide to worldwide."
This would be a good one. Grads, get your applications ready!

"Not only is it time to rethink the most expensive M.F.A. programs, it's time for applicants to bite the bullet and consider the enormous benefits of less expensive, less sexy-sounding schools that will leave them with much less debt."
Thanks, Jerry. We've been saying this for years.
Do you know Anna Sew Hoy's work?

In case you're passing through Dallas any time soon:
"In the fall of 2013 the Nasher Sculpture Center will presentReturn to Earth: Ceramic Sculpture of Fontana, Melotti, Miró, Noguchi, and Picasso, 1943-1963, the first exhibition to explore the phenomenal increase in interest ceramics received from artists of the avant-garde during this period. Responding to a variety of personal impulses and historical circumstances, Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Joan Miró, Isamu Noguchi, and Pablo Picasso produced significant bodies of work in fired clay that engaged the material in novel, inventive, even radical ways, and often challenged the boundaries between sculpture and ceramics. The Nasher’s exhibition will offer an in-depth look at some 70 ceramic works, ranging in scale from the intimate to the monumental. In most cases, these objects have received scant attention in comparison to these artists’ work in other media, particularly in the United States. Nonetheless, the works in the exhibition provided the next generation of artists, such as Ken Price and Peter Voulkos, radical examples of the expressive potential of fired clay and paved the way for the resurgence of ceramics in contemporary art today."
Many of you have seen, and used, the orange books floating around the studio. Some of you may even own a copy of "Cushing's Handbook." I purchased my copy during a summer course I was taking at Alfred back in 2003. Although Val wasn't teaching that summer (he had already retired), I was introduced to him and he invited me out to his studio to have a look around and talk about a career in ceramics. At the time I really didn't know who I was talking to, but in the years since, the words and advice that he gave me have rung clearer and clearer with time. He was exceptionally generous, full of wisdom, and he made a lasting impression. Although we only spoke for an hour or two, Val's generosity made a real impact on my life. So, when you see those orange books sitting around...remember Val, and everything he has done for our field.
Brian Kisida, the husband of our former student and good friend, Lydia Clark Kisida, has co-authored an article that just appeared in the New York Times. Not surprisingly, it spent all day today on the top of the "most e-mailed" list. At this point, it's been shared over 25,000 times. Congrats to Brian, and everyone who has had a hand in the fantastic education program that Crystal Bridges has been running since its opening.

The Belger Arts Center, in collaboration with Red Star Studios and the Consulate of Mexico in Kansas City, presents a group exhibition of over 30 ceramic works by renowned contemporary Mexican artists. To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Puebla (also known as the Battle of Cinco de Mayo) in 2012, Uriarte and the University of the Americas Puebla invited recognized artists to create works in conjunction with the Uriarte Talavera tradition. Uriarte Talavera, one of the oldest producers of Mexican talavera pottery, continues this tradition using sixteenth century methods.
Talavera is a type of majolica earthenware that’s fired at extremely high temperatures. Its origins are believed to date back to the seventh century when the Muslims conquered North Africa and moved into Europe. Majolica evolved to include influences from Chinese, Italian, Moorish and Spanish cultures. When the Spanish introduced talavera to Mexico, Mexican artisans blended these techniques with their established practices to create Mexican talavera pottery.
Until January 4th

Our annual trip to Kansas City couldn't have come at a better time than this past weekend. There were a number of openings (at least 5 ceramics shows) this past week, and it seemed like people were in town from everywhere. Leslie Ferrin, Jun Kaneko, Beth Cavener, Steve Lee, Dan Anderson and many others were spotted around town and at the openings. It felt like a mini-NCECA, and confirmed once again just how great of a clay city KC really is.
The primary purpose of our trip was to visit the amazing studio shared by Meredith Host, Rain Harris and Paul Donnelly. They occupy a 9000 sqaure foot space beneath the Crane Yard Clay store and warehouse. It's an unbelievably immense space, and these three keep it humming with activity. Paul and Rain were also gracious enough to give us a gallery talk to accompany their shared exhibition at the Belger Center. It was a great couple of days. Here are just a few images of our trip to KC.
Those of us who had the opportunity to poke our heads around KCAI's ceramics studio this past weekend caught a rare glimpse into this stellar undergraduate ceramics program (which Jeannie is a product of). For those of you who couldn't make the trip, I though I would post a link their most recent exhibition of student work. The work is fantastic, and definitely worth keeping an eye on! Follow the link below for more images. This post is for you, UARK BFA students! !!
Why has no one told me that Onyx opened up a location in Fayetteville? I'm going. Right now.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Arkansas-based artist, Linda Lopez, in her New York City debut. Lopez’s seemingly arbitrary commingling of materials and forms further develops her desire to suggest the alternative existence of objects. In this work, Lopez’s sculptures animate the inanimate by combining an object with its otherness.
Until November 21.
