As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve partnered with Janine Vangool of Uppercase and Julia Krueger to publish a book on Ceramics in 2020. We’ve been working away on the themes for the book and compiling a list of potential artists to include – but we also want to here from YOU!
Yes, YOU!
Part of this book is going to be curated via submissions that you send in to us. So here’s your chance to get your work seen internationally in one of Uppercase’s exquisite publications. They are eye candy and compelling content overload!
“You do not need to be a professional potter to apply. If you’re an entrepreneur who utilizes ceramics in your business in a unique way, please apply. We are looking for a variety of abilities, techniques and perspectives. Our preference through this audition process is to discover previously unpublished artists, makers and entrepreneurs. Thank you for your understanding.
This is an “audition” only. Your submission will be reviewed by publisher Janine Vangool and co-authors Carole Epp and Julia Krueger. Please do not contact us individually; we will review everything and will let you know in early 2020 on the status of your audition.
Should you be selected for inclusion in Volume C: Ceramics, we will have additional questions for you in January that will be due by the end of February 2020 along with high-resolution photographs. Thank you!”

“More
and more, artists are interested in producing work that’s not only
beautifully designed and produced, but also environmentally friendly and
socially responsible. In Sustainable Ceramics, pioneer Robert
Harrison draws on more than forty years of working in clay to present
practical possibilities for ceramic artists. This book covers all the
factors to consider when going ‘green’, from fuels and alternative
firing technology to energy-saving methods, sustainable ways to collect
and use clay itself, and ways to deal with waste materials and save
water. Harrison suggests simple and achievable methods by which to
reduce the carbon footprint of ceramic art, and offers examples
throughout of potters and clay artists who reclaim, reuse and recycle in
their work. Sustainable Ceramics is an essential resource for
any ceramicist, studio or school wishing to reduce the impact of their
practice on the environment.”

The Uncommon Denominator: A Tribute to Richard Hirsch presents
a spectrum of aesthetic eloquence and technical mastery in the ceramic
arts. The traveling exhibition and accompanying catalog celebrate the
career of Richard Hirsch through the work of a selection of his alumni.
Hirsch has achieved professional recognition both as a ceramic artist
and teacher.
During his teaching career, which has spanned over thirty years, he
has been a faculty member of two prominent craft programs: the Program
in Artisanry at Boston University, and currently, the School for
American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology. Many of Hirsch’s
former students have established their own outstanding careers in the
contemporary ceramics field. Represented in The Uncommon Denominator are
notable examples of the renaissance in utilitarian pottery, continued
interest in the vessel aesthetic, and the investigation of both
figurative and abstract sculpture.
