A series of two 6-week workshops offering instruction in the fundamentals of ceramic materials and their formal manipulation for the expressive creation of ceramic art objects in a cooperative studio environment is structured with activities for up to twenty participants per workshop. It includes lectures illustrating historical influences on contemporary ceramic art, demonstrations of ceramic techniques for sculptural and design work, supervision approaches for studio practice in ceramics, and evaluation of creative activity through group critiques. Prof. Rita Badilla-Gudiño of CFA coordinates workshop activities with Visiting Fulbright Scholar Tom Decker. Together they implement materials, resources and facilities required for instructional content. The first of the series of workshop is open to all CFA faculty. The second batch is open to students and staff of CFA and is extended to the academic community as a whole. Workshop participants meet as a group once a week on Mondays from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and/or 2:30-5:30 p.m. The studio setting may be accessible during regular hours of campus operation throughout the week for participants to continue working on an individual basis. Participants may subscribe for a single six-week workshop or re-subscribe for another six weeks. This series of workshops is intended to stimulate a cross-disciplinary interest in the studio practice of ceramics. Building interest in the study of ceramic art across Visual Communication, Studio Arts, Industrial Design, Art Theory, Graduate Program, RGEP, Continuing Education and Summer Programs aids the development of future curricula and may broaden the scope of existing course offerings.
