Bring your recurrent themes and formal obsessions to this workshop, where techniques evolve out of your visionary designs for contemporary food-related vessels and utensils. Starting from lived experience, each student develops a unique language of process and form to articulate ideas that are thoughtful and relevant to the food cultures we exist within. We interrogate the role of ceramics in the kitchen, on the table, in the hand, at the market, and on the go. Historical and contemporary ceramic practices are discussed as relevant to issues of design, aesthetics, and meaning.
