Ceramics Studio
Candice Ring’s visit is sponsored by the Ceramics Club.
There is no cost to attend the lecture – everyone is welcome.
“My passion for creating ceramic vessels stems from my reflection of the historical context from which they were inspired and the likeness of the imprint that they leave today. My pieces serve as a tool to initiate an experience of use, as a visual and functional language to connect with the user.”
Candice Ring received her BFA in Ceramics from the University of Manitoba, where she worked in a technical capacity for three years following graduation. Having sought out new and interesting opportunities, Candice accepted a position at Red Deer College in Red Deer, Alberta and worked in the ceramics department while maintaining her studio practice. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and has participated in residencies in Australia, the United States and Canada and has taught several workshops in Alberta and Manitoba. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Ceramics at Arizona State University.

In the Borderlands of Art:
…the future terrain
of architecture & ceramics
Thursday, March 25 | 6 pm Ceramics Studio
Architecture, like ceramics, occupies a place between art and craft, ornament and function. Historically, the two disciplines are fundamentally similar, accommodating the most sacred rituals and the humblest of human needs.
Indeed, many buildings and their parts —and for a very long time—are made of ceramics. This lecture will explore the mutually beneficial relationships, both past and future, between the ceramic arts and architecture.
Professor Terri Fuglem is currently an Associate Professor in the University of Manitoba Department of Architecture. She received a BArch (five-year professional degree) in Architecture at Carleton University and an MArch in the History and Theory of Architecture at McGill University. Professor Fuglem has practiced in Ontario, Québec and London, England, and taught architecture at Carleton University, Dalhousie University, and the University of Manitoba. Her research interests include the history of modern architecture in Canada, the relationships between form and materiality, and the effects of the global economy on local systems of trade and exchange, and particularly with the effects of regional production on architecture.
Terri Fuglem’s lecture is part of an exchange between Ceramics and Architecture.
There is no cost to attend this event – everyone is welcome.
