Post Undergraduate Studies(special student)

The ceramics area at Illinois State University is accepting applications from students who have completed undergraduate studies and are interested in continuing their
work in ceramics in a non-degree seeking program. Students pursuing
post-undergraduate work at ISU will take credits as a “Graduate
Student At Large”.  These students are given studio space and will get
materials through a minimal lab fee. Access to the ceramics area
faculty, and involvement in some components of academic curriculum
provide a rough framework for study.

My
work explores the sympathetic magic that arises through representing
the natural world in miniature as a way to capture and control vast and
unfathomable forces.  In the series of functional vessels Luna-ware, the
works begin with the creation of models of the moon in porcelain. These
models are then cut and combined with handles, rims and bases to form
domestic vessels. The dark grey, cratered, uneven Luna surface provides a
visual and tactile experience that contrasts strongly with the smooth,
shiny white surfaces of the rims and handles, and invites an examination
of the difference between “natural” and “made”.

A little about me and my work….I got interested in clay at a very young age.  My mom got me into some clay classes as early as 2nd grade and I’ve been making pots pretty much ever since.  I got my BFA
in Ceramics at the University
of Iowa and am finishing up my MFA here in Texas.  I work with cone 6
stoneware and porcelain and focus on making soft but structured forms
that are wheel thrown and altered.  I have started introducing imagery
from my suburban childhood onto the surfaces
of my work using hand cut stencils and stamps.  My aim is to create a
subtle narrative and loosely constructed spaces in order to bring to
mind memories of childhood, suburbia and home.

Upcoming Show I Yunomi Invitational 2013 I
Opens April 19, 10:00 AM CST
 
Yunomi Invitational 2011
 
Upcoming Show: April 19 – May 17
Yunomi Invitational 2013 (Online Only!) 

Yunomi (U-know-me)- A form of tea bowl, usually being taller than it
is wide, with a trimmed or turned foot. 
Unlike the formal chawan tea
bowl used during the Japanese tea ceremony, the Yunomi tea bowl is made
for 
daily (or informal) tea drinking.

Welcome to our yearly tradition…

This exclusively
online event is now in its seventh year of delighting potters and clay
lovers alike; the Yunomi Invitational 
is one of the our most diverse,
colorful, and entertaining shows to date. Invitations were sent out in
mid-July of 2012; 
with many immediate responses the list became more
clear with each passing day. Finally the roster was complete with 
206
ceramic artists delivering over 1,000 Yunomi. The Invitational includes
ceramic artists from legends to emerging artists, 
living in Iowa City to
Sweden, using everything from porcelain to terra cotta, and even
Yunomi that come with boxes, lids 
and pedestals. From the minimalist to
illustrative with flora, fauna and geometric
patterns and text, this annual invitational 
gives us an extraordinary
glimpse into contemporary artists’ interpretation of a Yunomi. This
year’s show has over 
2,060 photos of Yunomi alone and as with any AKAR
show, accompanying artist biographies, statements and resumes 
are
included. While this appears daunting in task, it truly has been a labor
of love for all of us here at the gallery.

Contributions to The Studio Potter:

For
the fifth consecutive year, participating artists have elected to
donate proceeds of their sales to the The Studio 
Potter, a non-profit
organization dedicated to all things clay. Yunomi with the The Studio
Potter logo have been 
designated as to-be-donated Yunomi sales. We are
thrilled to once again support our very good friends at The 
Studio
Potter. 

How to View the Work:

This show is viewable online ONLY. So this Friday, April 19th at 10:00 AM Central Time all the Yunomi will be viewable awww.akardesign.com

Laurent Dufour @ Les Ateliers galerie de L’Ô asbl

Le geste spontané, au graphisme tantôt percutant tantôt innocent du céramiste Laurent Dufour suscite l’émotion, l’interrogation, la remise en question…

Fasciné, on ne peut que se laisser porter par le graphisme narratif de ses cubes ou plonger dans la candeur des regards de ses personnages.
Très vite, trop vite on lâche prise,…la force physique qu’elle dégage et la virtuosité « récit-graphique» ouvrent une faille émotionnelle à laquelle on ne peut résister.
