I attended the last one in Santa Fe several years ago. Unlike the
excitement of 3000 clay people in one place that happens at the annual
conference, the symposium is planned to be a more personal, reflective
gathering that is meant to foster discussions. I enjoyed that I was able
to speak with the same people over a period of several days, and came
away from that with considerably more than just what was on the program.
Mary Barranger is a ceramist who works with both pottery and sculpture.
She's taught at a number of universities as visiting faculty, and was
part of the program at the last Arrowmont Functional Ceramics
conference. Mary has a strong background in ceramic art history. The
thing that impresses me most is her ability to think on her feet and
make very insightful contributions to discussions.
Andrea Gill teaches at Alfred University in Alfred, NY. Ceramic
education Mecca to many. Andrea is an experienced and accomplished
artist and educator, well known and respected in the field.
Donald Kuspit is a well-known critic and author on art.
For those making plans for the annual conference:
