HI ALL!!
I am an aspiring potter living in South Florida. I am looking for a good BFA
Program in Ceramics either in the Southeast, Southern or Northeast regions,
but would consider any area for the right program. I would greatly appreciate
any information, direction, inspiration, words of wisdom or advice.
I am new to this type of e-mail so please let me know whether I can reply to
your responses directly. And please feel free to through the list or directly.
Many Thanks

There are several programs that would benifit the potter that I know of.
University of Nebraska in Lincoln Nebraska is one
You have Gail Kendall, Peter Pinnell and Eddie Domengeze there
they will be moving into a new complex soon and I think this will be one hell
of a program
Penn St. University is another, two wood kilns and two salt kilns plus Chris
Staley and Liz Quaqenbush, they both are dedicated to pottery. Heard it's
tough to get into thier BFA program, so get good slides.
If you have any questions write me off list

Laura -
There are many excellent clay BFA programs around the country, and your
selection should depend on what specific features you are looking for. If
you want a big-city art program with all the cultural and social stimulus
that goes along with it (along with possibly crowded and chaotic studio
facilities) there are plenty to pick from. There are also lots of good
programs located in smaller cities or towns around the country, where the
studio dynamic tends to be a little less competitive and intense (to
everyone's advantage, in my opinion).
Here at the Tennessee Tech University's Appalachian Center for Crafts we
have the luxury of very large, uncrowded studio facilities, where students
can immerse themselves in their work with very few distractions. Some find
that there are TOO FEW distractions, but that tends to be the case in a
remote wilderness location like this. If you want more info, call or email
me and I will send you a packet.
Best wishes -

I've seen Gail Kendall's name associated with Pete Pinell's on numerous
occasions. Will Donn or anyone else on the List tell me what her
relationship is to Pinnell and what position (adjunct, lecturer, assistant
prof, associate prof) does she hold at UNL?

At the university of Nebraska in Lincoln there was an instructor named Tom
Sheffield who ran the ceramics Dept. My mother had him as a teacher in the
60's, actualy I had most of my moms proffesors when I first took art at UNL.
1987 was Toms last year at UNL and mine also, I was leaving to pursue my BFA
at the kansas city art institute and I was there for the search. Gail Kendal
was selected to replace Tom. She was alone for several years until they
decided to hire a second associate proffessor. They then hired Peter Pinnel
who was teaching at the Kansas City Art institute, where I had him for glaze
calculation, kiln building theory, and all around problem solving. Recently
they have hired Eddie Domenguez as an instructro also, I do not how they
classify him in their program, but I can say that there are three people who
are dedicated to the vessle in that program.
they will be moving into a new facility next year I think, It would be a
great program to be apart of.

To my knowledge, Gail Kendall is an Associate Professor of Art and Pete
Pinell is an Assistant professor of Art at the University of Nebraska @
Lincoln in Lincoln Nebraska. Recently hired Eddie Domingues is an
Assistant Professor of Art at UNL. Their relationships are as partners
in a dynamic ceramic program. With these three individuals on faculty
the program is diversified and broad in content and appears to present a
broad knowledge base for the perspective student. Good luck on your
Decision

Gail, Pete, and Eddie Dominguez are all tenure-track or tenured faculty at
Univ. of Nebraska. This is a wonderful program with an amazing range of
faculty. They seem to cover all the bases. If they have the capacity for
growth they could easily become one of the leading graduate clay programs in
the country. I suppose they already are.
We had Gail here for a workshop last summer with Jeff Oestreich. What a team!!

Hi, List People,
I don't remember what the initial question about BFA programs was, but the
program here at the University of Florida is quite dynamic, and, in my
opinion, one of the top five in the coutry. If I remember correctly, the
person who asked the question was from Florida, which would make tuition
much cheaper, and we have two professors who are internationally known. Nan
Smith, who is a presenter at NCECA this year is head of the department.
Linda Arbuckle, who is internationally famous for her majolica ware pieces,
is our other full professor.
I agree that Gail Kendall is great. She did a workshop here, and it and she
were wonderful. Pete Pinnell also did a workshop here, which was also quite
good. However, I think that our program is quite nurturing to the undergrad
interested in a Fine Arts degree specializing in Ceramics.
So, for that person who originally asked...perhaps he/ she should consider
U.F.
Sincerely,
Karen R. Betts
Ceramics Senior
