=3Cbigger=3E=3Cbigger=3E=3Cbigger=3EArchitectural Ceramics Seminar

=3C/bigger=3E=3C/bigger=3EInstructors: Nancy Selvage and Jeanee Redmond

Spring, Friday, 9:30 am - 12:30 pm, February 11 - May 12, 2000

graduate credit option, see registration form at
www.fas.harvard.edu/=7Eofa/programs/ceramics


=24395 tuition

additional =24180 lab fee if you want to process work at the studio

additional =24100 for graduate level credit option

application fee =2435



Open to artists and designers working in various fields, these studios
integrate the development of individual projects with demonstrations,
design critiques, site visits, slide lectures, and readings on
historical and contemporary architectural ceramics. Students are
presented with a variety of opportunities to develop their skills as
designers and artists who can work effectively with architects and
clients to create ceramic sculpture and tile installations in public
and private settings. Presentations by artists, architects,
historians, and fellow studio participants expose students to a rich
variety of sensibilities and approaches to creative brainstorming,
design, fabrication, and installation. Students are expected to develop
projects and proposals for specific sites and clients.


This Spring Term's seminar will feature work-in-progress by Nancy
Selvage for a new visitor's center at the Grand Canyon and the
fabrication of a 150' mural by Jeanee Redmond for a large office
building.

Spring, Wednesday, 10:00 am - 12:00 noon, February 9 - May 10


graduate credit option if you have some prior experience with glaze
research see registration form at

additional =24180 lab fee if you want to process more than test tiles at
the studio

additional =24100 for graduate level credit option.

application fee =2435



Presentations, laboratory testing, and research will be focussed on
developing an understanding of the chemistry involved with firing clays
and glazes so that students may use natural and commercial ceramic
materials effectively and safely
