I have been mulling this over since I have been working on my MFA in
clay My school does not have one at this time, but did in the past.
Are ceramic art history classes pretty much run like the others?....By
that I mean with very little focus on how art is made. I know in my
art history classes, any tidbit of knowledge that comes out about
process is like a gift. I have made a point to write many of my art
history papers about ceramics. I think a wonderful idea would to have a
class not only about ceramic art history, but include a significant
amount of information about processes. (maybe a combination art
history/studio course. ) To me, process is so intregal to ceramics, it
really would be enriching to know more about methods. A few years
back, when I lived in South Carolina, I co-taught a community ed class
about archeaology...my co-teacher was an archeologist, and focused on
that while I taught about the ceramic technology of the era. We even
did some simple hands-on clay work. We also ran a local dig. It was a
great class
Any input?

My university didin't have a class teaching the
history of pottery either. They had history classes
talking about painting though; even had a history of
interior design too but no pottery. The wouldh have
helped alot. I always had urges to learn more about
the history of pottery. Having to learn all that
information use to overwelme me. I never knew where to
start. So I dont know about any other school but at
my school we didn't have a history of pottery
class.......
