Ceramics
This program is based at the International Ceramics
Studio (ICS); a world-renowned ceramic art center
located 35 miles south of the Hungarian capital,
Budapest. The ICS, a highly regarded institution
known for fostering excellence in ceramic arts, brings
together a community of artists with whom our students
interact. Classes will be held in a professionally
active ceramic arts environment, where students will
share equipment and facilities with artists from all
over the world. The mission of the studio is to
promote the formal, aesthetic and technical
development of ceramics and to help foster creative
skills. Students have exceptional 24-hour access to
workshops and equipment, breaking down the barriers
between education, life and art.
A country that broke free from Communism in 1989 after
having been under rule of the Russians, Germans,
Austrians, or Turks for most of the last 500 years,
Hungary has one foot firmly grounded in its rich
literary, architectural and artistic tradition and one
foot in its vibrant, optimistic present, manifest by
its 2004 acceptance into the European Union. Students
will have access to five national museums, including
na=EFve arts, folk arts and photography, as well as
excellent private collections. Hungary is also home
to two of the best porcelain factories in the world =96
Her end, a modern factory in which the work is still
hand painted, and Zsolnay, a fading but fascinating
factory in the southern town of Pecs.
The program includes a four-day trip to Česk=FD
Krumlov, a small medieval Bohemian town in a crook of
the Vltava River in southern Czech Republic. One of
Europe's untouched gems; the town center is
resplendent with original Gothic, Renaissance and
Baroque architecture. The UNESCO World Heritage
Monument Castle Česk=FD Krumlov dates to the early
13th Century and includes one of only three remaining
Baroque theaters with original stage machinery,
scenery and props. Also incorporated into the Castle
complex are museums and a large ceramics collection,
displayed in its two kilometers of wine cellars.
Students also will travel on the river to Zlat=E1
Koruna, one of Bohemia's oldest monasteries.
