This series of slide lectures will explore the cultural

context in which this art form developed and currently

thrives, including the impact of geography, deeply held

Shinto and Buddhist beliefs, the lifestyle of the Samurai

class, and the impact of the Tea Ceremony on the art. We

will look at the production of the Six Ancient Kilns, the

Mingei Movement, the work of the Living National

Treasures, and look at contemporary trends as new artist-potters

throw off the shackles of centuries of tradition.

Finally, we will look at how Japanese ceramics had an

impact on contemporary American artist-potter’s work,

and how Abstract Expressionism impacted the Japanese

ceramists.

 

(This is a bit similar in content to the full credit-bearing degree level

course bearing the same course title.  Without the heavy readings, papers, and exams!)

John, this would be interesting also for people outside your area or even outside the US. Have you ever thought about doing an e-course about the subject?

That sounds really interesting! I agree with Evelyne, it would be great to be able to access it through internet
