VALDOSTA -- 美高梅博彩’s Department of Art will
host the 10th Annual Holiday Ceramics Sale from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
on Friday, Dec. 2, and Saturday, Dec. 3, in Room 136 of the Fine
Arts Building.
Besides a few of his own creations, Michael T. Schmidt, professor
of art, said that all of the works available for purchase were
created by vs上 students currently enrolled in advanced ceramics
courses. Several hundred items are for sale, including utilitarian
cups, bowls, plates, jars, and teapots, as well as sculptural
forms.
Thirty percent of all sales will benefit the Department of Art’s
访问ing Artist Fund. Schmidt said the department uses these funds
to bring visiting ceramics artists to the campus for one- or
two-day workshops and lectures.
“Fundraising events like this have been instrumental in bringing
nationally and internationally recognized artists to programs like
ours here are vs上,” he said.
When asked why this was important, Schmidt added, “It is
imperative. While enrolled at vs上, the students are receiving a
rigorous education housed in facilities that are top quality. Since
I am the only ceramics professor at vs上, everything ceramics
related comes from me. However, I feel it is essential for students
to see how others work in the discipline of ceramics and field of
art in general. I also believe that the students should get a
female perspective on ceramics. 我的 goal is to bring ceramics
artists to the Department of Art that are different from me and how
I work and teach. Watching, listening, asking questions to an
outside artist or educator gives the students a different
perspective; hopefully this helps in their quest to become a mature
artist … The experience is invaluable.”
Previous visiting artists have included Julie Guyot of Tallahassee,
Fla.; 亚特兰大的马克·诺特； Brian Jensen of Utah Valley
University, Utah; 南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的布鲁克·卡西迪（Brooke Cassidy）； Suzannah
Zucker of the University of Georgia; and Ryan Fitzer of Southern
Methodist University, Texas.
Funds from the sale will also benefit student travel to the annual
National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts Conference.
Schmidt said students who attend the conference have the
opportunity to see high profile ceramics exhibitions and artist
demonstrations; interact/network with other students, faculty and
artists from across the United States and around the world;
调查研究生院和住院医师项目； and experience
much more. 2012年的会议将在华盛顿州的西雅图举行。

on the creation of functional and sculptural forms, employing a
wide range of materials, like stoneware and porcelain, with an
exploration of techniques, such as electric/oxidation, raku, soda
firing, and high fire reduction. Advanced ceramics students gain
