Post Undergraduate Studies(special student)
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.

emerging artist: LeeAnn Janissen
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”.
emerging artist: Geryn Roche
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: April 19 – May 17 Yunomi Invitational 2013 (Online Only!) Yunomi (U-know-me)- A form of tea bowl, usually being taller than it 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 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 at www.akardesign.com |
keeping busy in the real world and neglecting the blog one.
So I appreciate the blog has been quiet this week. Forgive me as I’m an organizer and vendor for flock and gather and our spring handmade market is this weekend. If you’re in the area please stop by and say hi!
Here’s a bit of what’s been keeping me busy lately.
We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled blog very soon….
Thanks for your understanding.
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.
