Dear Clayarter,
I am graduating college this year (with a BA in Studio Art) and hope
to continue my education with an MFA in ceramic art in a year or two. I
have been told that I need to find a graduate school/professor who does
work similar to mine. Now how might I find this information? I produce
thrown and altered vessels (Raku/Sagger fired), 2 foot tall ciol built
vessels with figurative carvings (oxidation or sagger firing) and
stoneware oxidation fired teapots (some altered similar to my vessels
mentioned above, some with slip schraffetto script). Does anyone have a
suggestion who I should look into studying with?
Thanks Ever So Much,
Jacquie Lindo

It would undoubtedly be best if you spent the next year or so
investigating a variety of situations. You need not find someone
who "does work similar to" yours. What you should look for
is a facility/faculty that will encourage you to explore possibilities
and have the equipment and space that you need. It is extremely
unlikely that you will finish graduate school doing the same
work that you ENTER doing. We change with study and work,
and we change with years, and with influences. If you merely
expect to continue to do more of the same, then you do not need
graduate school to do that. The major purpose of graduate school
in the arts is, in my opinion, to give one an opportunity to really
focus on one's work for a period of time, to explore, look, look,
look, discuss, and do. And to engage in a time of dialog and
study that pushes us well past what we might have imagined ourselves
capable of or interested in. Look for faculty who are energetic,
productive, enthusiastic, and engaged not only in teaching but also
in their own body of work. They don't need to do what you do.
Most will have numerous grad students. How boring if you were
all doing the same thing.
Take your time investigating the possibilities, and VISIT the
facilities and faculty before you commit. It's difficult and expensive
to change your mind later.

Dannon's right about this! You may not get what
you want from your own work, if all the critiques
are coming from someone who sees their own work
in yours, but 'not quite the way they would have
done it'. I have seen this happen to several people
(including me). I've had more constructive, relevant,
and incisive critiques form people whose work was
utterly dissimilar to mine; they brought a point
of view that I would never have found for myself.
