Participants will include professionals and students in education, art history, anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, museum studies, and studio art. The symposia will include lectures, demonstrations, and panel discussions as well as opportunities for direct contact with artifacts in the museum collections, conservation laboratory, and teaching exhibitions. In further developing the series this summer, Selvage will need the assistance of an undergraduate Radcliffe Research Partner, who will receive first-hand experience in the field of ceramics as well as general training and practice in library, museum, and internet research. For information on the Research Partner application process, call the Radcliffe Ceramics Program at 495-8680. Radcliffe Ceramics Program classes, seminars, and intensive workshops are scheduled within three terms, which begin in late September, early February, and mid June.
Registration takes place during the two-month period preceding each term.
A limited number of free ceramic wine cups made by the artists will be given out to purchasers early on opening night. For more information, call 495-8680. The Radcliffe Ceramics Program is part of Radcliffe College under the oversight of the Office for the Arts. Offering all aspects of instruction, courses are open to everyone, whether affiliated with the college or not. Proceeds of the sale are used to help defray the costs of running the program.
