To all Clayarters,
I am reposting this message since I received notes from people who lost
part of the message, etc. A former classmate suggested that I should let
everyone know why I want the info and what I will be doing with it.
I am a studio potter who is in Finland, on a Fulbright Scholarship,researching
the role of the artist/craftsman as a designer in industry. To get up close
and personal with my project,I did a 9 month artist-in-residency at the
Hackman Designor Oy Ab/Arabia factory here in Helsinki. My host institution
has been the University of Art and Design Helsinki and the association has
allowed me to see curriculum differences between UIAH and the programs I
attended in the US.
The responses will help my research (regarding the questions below)
with regards to attitude of those making pots in the US.
Thanks for taking the time to read this....
