In this quarterly lecture series Guild Director Sarah Sprouse invites you to consider how themes of art, community, and expression intersect in the history of art. Join us every Sunday in March as we explore Modern Craftsmen: Women, Ceramics, and Community.
Ceramics have been a marginal practice within the history of modern art. At a time when women were virtually excluded from both the teaching and making of painting and sculpture, craft provided a vital arena as teachers, thinkers, and makers. Ceramics in particular, offered women unprecedented social freedoms, with the opportunity to live and teach in nontraditional settings, such as cooperative, experimental, or self-initiated communities. This series considers the crucial role women ceramicists played in ushering ceramics forward in the postwar era from craft to the artistic avant-garde.
