Currently I am updating the website that is alway in the back of my mind. I'm compiling more video and still images to archive for future education of ceramic artists. The art, techniques, and images in China are amazing The education gained by this exchange provides an incredible foundation for any ceramic artist. The time is right to learn about a culture that is an authority in ceramic art. The experience gained through this program will create a platform for an artist to springboard from. The artists will learn technical skills that few in western society have seen. Using this blend of western freedom and eastern tradition can lead to more possibilities for the contemporary ceramic artist. The next entries will come soon and I will talk more about the Taichien potters and trip to Yixing. My email address is hardboater@hotmail.com feel free to contact me or any of the other students about your questions or comments. We all look forward to any emails we receive.
