SHINOFEST 2
+ Clay Club Ceramics Sale
Friday, March 2, 2007 - 6:00-9:00 PM
Art Depot Annex - 1703 Texas Avenue

Shino, a 500 year old ceramics glaze tradition with many variations in color and surface texture, continues to enchant ceramists worldwide, and is of particular importance to functional ceramists.  The ceramics program at the TTU School of Art focuses primarily on sculptural ceramics in which issues of form, content and intention overshadow the functional.  ShinoFest affords students and faculty a moment to pull back, reflect, and conduct intense research on Shino glazes.  This exhibition presents the results of that research.
 
Along with work by TTU students and faculty, ShinoFest 2 will feature work by special guests Keith Ekstam, Professor in Ceramics and Kevin Hughes, Associate Professor in Sculpture and Ceramics, both in the Department of Art + Design at Missouri State University in Springfield.

The Medici Circle – Supporters of the School of Art are presenting this exhibition in collaboration with the TTU Clay Club to raise awareness about many excellent programs at the School of Art and to kick-off a membership drive in support of student scholarships for the School of Art. 

 

Funding for this exhibition comes from the Landmark Arts Fund for Excellence in the Arts and the Clay Club.  All proceeds from the Clay Club Ceramics Sale will support student travel to the National Ceramics Conference (NCECA) in March.  You are encouraged to join the Medici Circle to support student scholarships at the School of Art – details will be available at the exhibition reception.
