Every two years, the Lawrence Arts Center hosts six nationally
recognized ceramicists in a symposium on topics central to the
contemporary ceramics art world. This rare opportunity offers a chance
to interact and observe ceramic artists working in the top of the field.
Over the course of two days, this select group of artists are active in
studios at the Lawrence Arts Center demonstrating sculpting processes,
wheel throwing, surface decoration and glazing, representing a diverse
range of techniques and approaches to ceramic art. The six artists are
paired up in three studios at the Arts Center, to demonstrate their
techniques and encourage dialogue with the audience. Attendees are
encouraged to visit each of the three studios throughout the two day
symposium on Friday, October 10 and Saturday, October 11 from 9:30am to
4:30pm.
This years artists are:
Sunshine Cobb
Gerit Grimm
Chris Gustin
Akio Takamori
Patti Warashina

A SURVEY OF CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS
Curated by Ben Ahlvers
October 10 – November 22
RECEPTION OCTOBER 10 | 7 to 9pm INSIGHT
Art Talk with Ben Ahlvers OCTOBER 23 | 7pm
This group exhibition explores juxtapositions whether they be visual
or conceptual as well as the connections that can be formed in the
context of a group exhibition. The works included in this exhibit looks
to the future in order to acknowledge the past. They make connections
and blur definitions of ceramic materials, processes. The exhibit
delectably and mysteriously explores tensions between nature and the
synthetic, the hand and the machine, history and the future. This
exhibit brings together nearly 40 artists working in North America, each
working with ceramic material and processes.

Clay Art Center is pleased to present Lineage: The Art of Mentorship,
curated by artist and educator Gail Kendall, this exhibition showcases
artist-educators and their chosen protégés, exhibiting the importance
and impact of the tutelage of the artists of our future. Lineage: The
Art of Mentorship highlights work by Artists from both in and out of
academia as both have had a profound impact on clay culture.
Mentorship,
while similar to teaching, is a closer relationship than that of the
classic student/ teacher connection. The protégé is more than a student;
the mentor is more than a teacher. Mentors experience value or,
MUTUALITY, when they interact with their partners. The relationship
demands boundary crossings, thus: counselor, coach, leader, and friend.
*check out our website to find out more about these accomplished artists and their mentor/protégé relationship
Selected
Artists were chosen because of their mastery in the field of ceramics-
not only in objects and ideas, but in the generation of other artists.
Each artist in turn invited an artist with whom they feel this strong
connection.
In conjunction with the exhibition Lineage: The Art of Mentorship, Clay Art Center would like for you to tell us about your mentorship relationships. We will post video, audio and written submissions on our blog. Selected submissions can also be viewed in our gallery in an evolving compilation.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Clay Art Center wants to know:
• 1) Who is your mentor?
• 2) What did you learn from you mentor?
• 3) How did you take it into your future?

Have you ever wondered why cone temperatures are seemingly
random? Have you been frustrated by a glaze that you can’t get to stop crazing.
Have you had enough of your clay body slumping? What is the deal with Cone 6 anyway? Have you ever wanted to
learn about how glazes work? Do you wonder what goes on in our clay bodies when
we fire them? Do you need a refresher in ceramic materials, or just want to
learn some cool things about clays and glazes?
The New York
State College of Ceramics at Alfred University has a new opportunity for all
ceramicists out there. This December and January we will offer our Glaze
Calculation and Raw Materials course online. The course will be offered during
our Allen Term, which runs the course of our winter break, December 15th
to January 16th. The class is open to everyone around the world who
wants to learn about ceramic materials. It is a perfect opportunity if you attended a school that
does not offer a materials course, or if you missed the window to take it at
your school. The course will be
offered for credit for students currently enrolled at other schools. It is also
open to the general public, if you are a lifelong learner. Maybe you are
someone just getting started in ceramics and want to know more about what is
going on when you fire a glaze. It is also perfect for the professional who
wants to develop the glaze they see in their mind, but just can’t seem to get
on their work.
We will explore everything you need to know about ceramic
materials. The nature of glazes
and clays, the background on raw materials, ceramic chemistry, how colors work,
oxidation and reduction, firing temperatures and schedules, glaze and clay
flaws and failure, special effect glazes, maximizing clay bodies, food safety,
the unity molecular formula. Everything that you need to know to make your
studio the best it can be.
The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University
is an internationally renowned school for the study of ceramics. We have a long
history of educators dedicated not just to ceramic art, but the holistic study
of Ceramics. Pioneers such as Daniel Rhodes, Val Cushing and John Gill have
strived to make ceramics a dynamic and exciting art form for over 100 years.
Alfred also has one of the world’s best ceramic engineering programs. Professors
like Dr. Bill Carty, pioneers in the study of ceramic science from the artist’s
perspective.
Glaze Calculation Online will be taught by Matt Katz,
Alfred’s professor specializing in ceramic materials. Matt has been teaching
Ceramic Materials at Alfred for over 12 years. Originally studying in the
school of art and design, Matt went on to study with Dr. Carty for many years. Matt
has a special perspective of materials from both the artist and engineer’s
point of view. Matt’s experience
has allowed him to design a new version of glaze calculation that includes the
intrinsic knowledge of the artists with the wisdom of the ceramic scientist.
We hope that you will join us online this winter; it will be
a course you will always appreciate as you continue to strive to make your
studio experience better.
