Juror’s Statement:
The teapot is one of the most recognizable and iconic
pottery forms throughout the world. It’s a form that has evolved
throughout history in many cultures, yet its function remains constant,
to deliver tea. Not many ceramic forms point at such a specific
ritual as the teapot does. The handle extends an offer to the user’s
hand, the lid invites the user to insert tea and hot water, and the
spout delivers the reward. It’s a magical object that mediates a
series of actions for a specific beverage.
There is probably no other pottery form that is as complex
as the teapot. What other form demands so much attention to so many
things? Form, design, function, ergonomics, pouring, scale, and history
are among many of the factors that one can address. It is also has the
most sculptural potential within the vernacular of pottery and
continues to be one of the most broadly interpreted forms in ceramics.
From strictly functional, to cube-shaped, to figurative, to organic,
the teapot has taken on so many variations. It has been one of the
most creatively interpreted forms in historical and contemporary
ceramics.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan — Cranbrook Academy of
Art, ranked nationally as one of the top ten programs in graduate art
education, seeks a new leader for the Ceramics department. The
successful Ceramics candidate should demonstrate a strong record as a
professional artist at the highest level in the field, have teaching
experience at the graduate level and strong interpersonal and
communication skills to lead the department of 15 students.
Cranbrook Artists-in- Residence are the singular leaders of their
departments. They are given the autonomy to determine the department’s
pedagogy and the responsibility for its success. At Cranbrook,
Artists-in- Residence are not typical faculty members. They are
full-time artists and designers who live on campus, and whose personal
studios are located within their departments. During the academic year,
September-May, the Artist-in- Residence mentors 15 graduate students in a
collegial environment including nine additional departments: 2D
Design,Architecture, 3D Design, Fiber, Metalsmithing, Painting,
Photography, Print Media and Sculpture. Within the Department, each
Artist-in- Residence selects their students, guides the development of
each individual and nurtures a productive and interactive environment.
The degree program culminates in an exhibition and written
masters-statement approved by the department head.
Candidates for this position must be unusually well qualified to
provide open, independent learning, resulting in rigorous production,
critique and discussion, and inspire research,innovation and
experimental paradigms. It is anticipated that the Artist-in- Residence
will also advocate the program via the web, publication and
national/international lectures as an active component of recruiting
future students.
Cranbrook is not simply a graduate program; it is a community of
artists and designers, living and working together on a campus that was
designed specifically for that purpose. Cranbrook Artists-in- Residence
are provided with a private studio, housing on campus and benefits in
addition to salary.
The Ceramics Artist-in- Residence should respect the history of
ceramics while embracing the visual and conceptual elements of the field
through a wide-range of formats and methods, including new
technologies. Conceptual models for Ceramics should be characterized by
an interdisciplinary, expansive approach that can be used as an open
framework for building new visions that will evolve the future of the
discipline. The department boasts five large, energy efficient,
state-of- the-art, Blaauw gas kilns- three fully computerized and two
manual, and several medium and small electric kilns. The studio is
equipped with all the essentials and more: blunger, hydraulic extruder,
tile saws, spray booth, grinders, sandblaster etc. In this way we hope
not only to cater to the already established ceramic tradition- we aim
for the department to be at the frontline of contemporary ceramic art
and design.
Candidates for this position must be working artists with a sustained
record of peer recognition; a demonstrated commitment to college-level
teaching; a Master’s Degree or higher; excellent communication skills
and leadership skills; the ability to provide a productive and
interactive learning environment; the capacity to make a significant
contribution to their field and to the Academy.
Position commences September 2017.
APPLICATION
Applications consist of two pieces: a single PDF document and a completed Cranbrook Faculty Application form.
Cranbrook Faculty Application Form
The PDF should contain a cover letter, departmental philosophy,
curriculum vitae and contact information for three references. It should
also include a portfolio of the candidate’s work (20 images). The PDF
should be labeled with FirstInitial.LastName.pdf
Applications received by January 11, 2017 will be given priority
consideration. Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled.
Materials should be sent to [email protected].

This 2 day workshop explores surface
decorating processes at the leatherhard stage. Students learn how to
build layers of visual and tactile information intergrating pattern,
color, texture and image. Pre-bisque we experiment with underglaze
surface design techniques. We will explore screenprinting with
thermo-fax and EZ screens, paper stenciling, freehand drawing with
inlay/mishima, sgraffito, brushwork, stamping, texture, and tissue
transfers. We will combine surface techniques through the use of wax
resist and commerical underglaze. Expand your visual vocabulary and
learn how to create dynamic , complex surfaces. Although we will use
cone 6 porcelain fired in oxidaion, these methods, techniques and
information are applicable to all types of clays and firings.
This workshop is suitable for all levels, but some experience with clay will be helpful.
For
the hands on portion, everyone needs to bring leatherhard pieces/tiles
(4-6 pieces – recommended tile size is 6″ x 6″). Any type of piece will
work, but a flat surface such as a tile or a plate can be easier/less
frustrating to work with at first. White clay bodies are recommended.
Date:
Mon., 26 Sep. 2016 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Tue., 27 Sep. 2016 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Price: $170.00

Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting its annual juried exhibition
that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The focus of the exhibit is on the
function and concept of the drinking vessel, including its relation to history, politics,
craft, technology, utility, and narrative. It is a survey of the wide variety of approaches
to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel,
the cup. This year the exhibit is part of the National Clay Week http://www.nationalclayweek.org/ and will have an “interactive” component, which will take place on October 11.
