There are still a few places left in both the 3-day Symposium and
the 3-week seminar. There is a great group of presenters and
participants!
Symposium
China Trade Porcelain
The Ceramics Program of the Office for the Arts at Harvard presents
the third in a series of annual symposia focused on major cultural
traditions in the ceramic arts. This year's symposium features China
Trade Porcelain and the world's largest collection of Asian Export
Art at the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem, Massachusetts. Salem was a
major seaport participating in this fascinating and complex story of
global trade and influence. Scholars and artists will give slide
lectures, collection tours, and master classes on the technology,
history, and contemporary legacy of this cross-cultural exchange.

Seminar
China Trade Porcelain
This intensive three-week studio-seminar will combine the study of
China Trade ceramics history and technology with creative studio
work. For seminar participants who are art educators there will be
projects for incorporating the course content into interdisciplinary
curriculum development lesson plans. During the first week the
participants will attend the Symposium's slide lectures, master
classes, and collection tours. At other sessions they will work
closely with the visiting artists and seminar instructor on the
development of their skills as artists and as educators. Seminar
participants will have access to the studio facilities 7days and
