Well I’ve just arrived back home from 1000 Miles Apart, which is a ceramics conference held each year in Canada at one of the Western Canadian universities or art colleges that have ceramic programs (University of Regina, University of Winnipeg, Red Deer College, Alberta College of Art and Design, and sometimes Emily Carr). Needless to say I’m still buzzing from all the events of the weekend, the talks, the artwork, all the fantastic people, the challenging ideas and conversations about craft and ceramics, the good food and great company. I’m a junkie for ceramics conferences though. I can’t get enough. I mean I work alone in the studio normally (productive? yes, quiet? yes, lonely? sometimes) and so to have the opportunity to get out and spend time surrounded by other great makers, getting inspired by their work, ideas and techniques always feeds my practice for the next few months. Thanks so much to everyone who worked so hard to bring it all together (Darcy you especially rock!) and to everyone who traveled so far to be there – North Dakota so nice of you guys to make the trip! See you all next year if not sooner.

And if you’re thinking of applying for either of those academic positions (Concordia or Manitoba – see other posts) maybe a quick read of Kathy King’s article “WANT TO BE A CERAMICS FACULTY MEMBER!?!” published on the Critical Ceramics website is in order. Best of luck!

Tenure-Track Faculty Position – Ceramics
Concordia University’s Department of Studio Arts invites applications for one tenure-track position in Ceramics for July 1, 2009.
Candidates for this position should possess an MFA degree or equivalent, a strong exhibition record, a minimum of two years university teaching experience, and demonstrated administrative experience and committee service. A strong, critical/theoretical background and a contemporary understanding of both extended and discipline-based approaches to ceramics practice are required. Candidates should be devoted to clay and have technical skills in one or more of the following areas: hand-building, throwing and mold-making processes, clays and glazes technology, and digital imaging technologies. Candidates will be expected to teach Ceramics at the undergraduate and graduate levels and participate in the coordination and development of the Ceramics curriculum, helping to enhance the reputation of this well-regarded program. The program is particularly interested in developing mold-making as part of its curriculum. Although classes are taught in English, fluency in French would be considered an asset.
Submissions should include a covering letter; a current curriculum vitae; research documentation in slide or digital format, images of student work (if possible); a statement of teaching philosophy; a list of courses taught with course descriptions; course evaluations (if available); and a list of three referees and their contact information.
