Sixth Annual Cup Show: Form and Function
Deadline September 20th!
Gulf
Coast State College, Amelia Center Gallery is hosting a juried
exhibition that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The exhibition
will focus on the function and concept of the drinking vessel,
including its relation to history, politics, craft, technology, utility,
and narrative. The goal is to offer a survey of the wide array of
approaches to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most
intimate and accessible vessel, the cup.

ACAD Ceramics Students and Greg Payce, Katrina Chaytor, Brad Keys, Sean O’Connell, Robin Lambert
As a student run conference, ACAD Ceramics students have played a big
role in the selection of presenting artists and the conference
itinerary. We also are pleased to have our Ceramics Visiting
Artist/Instructor 2013/14, Sean O’Connell present at our conference. We
introduce our Guest Artists for 1000 Miles Apart here, in the order of
their appearance:
Sean O’Connell
Sean O’Connell is a studio potter, recently from Helena, MT where he
was the 2012/13 Windgate Fellow at the Archie Bray Foundation. He has
been involved in the arts since an early experience as a silversmith’s
apprentice at the age of thirteen in Fayetteville, AR. He attended
college at the Kansas City Art Institute several years later, and upon
completing his BFA in Sculpture, Sean became increasingly interested in
making functional pottery. This led to many years of independent
research, study and practice. After several years working as an
instructor in community art centers throughout the Chicago area, Sean
pursued his MFA in Ceramics at the School for American Crafts, Rochester
Institute of Technology in western New York. Shortly after he was the
2009 Salad Days Artist in Residence at Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts
in Newcastle, ME. In 2011 Sean was accepted as a long term Artist in
Resident at the Archie Bray Foundation. In the course of finishing up
his time at the Bray, Sean is continuing to make quality functional
ceramics, exhibiting nationally, and regularly gives workshops and
lectures around the country.

Ryan McKerley
Ryan Mckerley started making pots while he was an
art student at Abilene Christian University in West Texas. In 1995,
after receiving his BFA at Abiline Christian University, he moved to
Austin and began an apprenticeship with Billy Ray Mangham. As his
apprenticeship continued, Ryan developed his pottery (and water carving
technique), taught children and adults and began building his own kilns.
Today he divides his time between his ceramic studio technician duties
at the Dougherty Arts Center, organizing the Art of the Pot Studio!
Tour, and teaching/exhibiting around the U.S.
