Teachers' Teachers
Session 3 | July 13–25
Ledger of Locating Myself by Nicole Seisler, 2023. Terracotta, stoneware, porcelain, screws, 40" x 240" x 6".
In this workshop, participants are expected to be teaching artists and will be invited to exchange and generate new approaches to ceramic education that underscore the metaphoric and conceptual potential of clay. Studio time will include making work, inventing exercises, critiquing existing structures, plotting new courses, and becoming students of our own curriculum. We will experiment with the productive potential of entwining making and teaching. Participants should be teaching artists (at any level, for a minimum of one year) who are invested in non-traditional approaches to ceramics.
