Seth Czaplewski proposes recycling unused clay materials and broken ceramics by incorporating them into new ceramic works or converting them into biochar. Some materials that can be recycled include clay abandoned in studios, contaminated clay, excavated clay from other projects, wad and wash from ceramic production, and unwanted or broken pots. Biochar is a charcoal-like material produced by heating biomass in low-oxygen conditions that can sequester carbon in soil for thousands of years and improve soil quality and plant growth. By recycling clay wastes and converting ceramics into biochar, Czaplewski aims to both reduce ceramic waste and educate the public about sustainable practices.

This global history of earthenware is based on
the travel accounts of explorers in West and
Central Africa, Mesoamerica, and the Iberian
Peninsula. The central figures are the artisans
who made, merchants who hawked, and the
cooks who served meals made in clay pots. Clay
pots had been essential items in the kitchen and
on the table with cooks using earthen vessels to
make one-pot meals such as puddings, stews,
and soups. By looking at the recipes made in
these clay cooking pots, we can uncover the
historical context in which people made both
the earthen vessel as well as the food in them.

In recent years, ceramics in New York have
been exhibited in highly respected galleries not

stigma of the “craft medium” and segregation
could finally be at hand.
Lecture: Safety in Glazes and Glazing
An overview of glaze and glazing safety. Also to be discussed is whether testing is necessary and simple precautions for functional ware.
How does someone end up making a career of creating exhibits? Until recently, the paths for most people entering the museum exhibition field have been many and varied – and I’m no exception. My hope with this discussion is to shed some light on the odd impact various interests and events from childhood to today have led me on this path, and the significant impact that serendipity has played. Along the way, I’ll be making observations about museums and exhibitions based on my experiences “in the wild”. And, I hope I’ll be able to shed some light on how the museum and exhibit theory imparted in the KI program reacts when it collides with reality (!).

Clay artifacts have the power to arouse wonder and to tell powerful cultural stories—and America’s museums have fundamental responsibility to help make this happen. This much needed activation begins with a dedication to thinking anew about collections as a way to make them more relevant, not only within the walls of the institution but also within the community and, in this digital age, for the world at large. Time-worn approaches to historical interpretation need to give way to more inclusive approaches through the incorporation of new voices, new narratives, and newer ways of thinking and seeing. This talk explores a wide array of museum-based and education projects initiated by the Chipstone Foundation in its search for more powerful ways to tell vital clay narratives.

Using color slip as the vehicle to express personal interpretation on the Taiwanese cultural phenomenon. Surface treatment of my works is not just about color, texture and design, it is about why I choose this techinique and how the process also plays part of the concept.
Demonstrating Artist: Ayumi Horie
Known for innovating a wheel technique involving no water, Ayumi will demonstrate dry throwing as a way to make bowls, plates, and match strikers.
