The class operates as a research lab and has drawn international artists from both media. Photography on clay is still an emerging practice, and the pieces on view reflect an ongoing process of discovery. The goal of this research is to move beyond surface decoration and produce an image that is integrated into the clay body and survives firing. To harness the energy of light and produce images in a substrate that is often resistant, a range of historic and experimental photographic processes and materials are employed. Vat dyes, colloids from gum, milk, and kelp, pigments, mason stains, underglazes, and light-sensitive metal salts of silver, copper, platinum, iron, and others have been applied to clay bodies of porcelain and white stoneware. Students have explored how photographic images can be exposed, developed, and fixed directly into clay. Tiles, vessels, sculptural forms, and test pieces record both successes and beautiful failures, from sharply rendered images to faint ghosts of exposure and unexpected blooms of chemistry. The exhibition will be of interest to photographers, ceramic artists, and art-lovers alike. What connects these works is a shared curiosity about what happens when light, chemistry, and clay meet. This exhibition offers a glimpse of a medium still taking shape and invites visitors to consider the materiality of a photograph. **Featuring work by these artists:** Natalie Andrew, Sophie Caretta, Nicole Croy, Maggie Dubler, Pamma FitzGerald, Heather Gardner, Jacinta Hayne, Lisa Killaby, Marianne McCarthy, Grace Miller, Sarah Moridpour, Suanne Peterson, Laurie Beck Peterson, Corinne Planche, Tamara Rafkin, Heather Shevlin, and Sarah Whitlock. **About the Curator and Instructor** Anne Eder holds an MFA in Photography and Integrated Media from Lesley University College of Art and Design and a BA from Goddard College in historic photographic processes and photographic ethics. An interdisciplinary artist and educator from Philadelphia, she has taught at The Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University, the Harvard Ceramics Program, the Penumbra Foundation in New York City, and the Griffin Museum of Photography. She also leads courses and workshops in analog and material photographic practices around the world. Eder is currently writing a book for Routledge, Taylor, and Francis on sustainable photographic practices. Her work, rooted in folklore, fairy tales, and the natural world, is exhibited internationally and held in public and private collections. She currently lives in Massachusetts with the ghost of her dog, The Brain, making monsters and working in her lab.

His practice brings together methods and modes of work from industrial design, digital fabrication and craft to investigate new possibilities for production of objects. His research explores how the combination of these methodologies may generate original object languages, free of appropriated traditions, archetypical forms or paraphrased signs. Yonatan has exhibited internationally and holds degrees from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (MDes, 2013, Industrial Design) and the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA, 2001, Industrial Design). From 2018-2023 he was an associate Professor at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, and is currently an Associate Professor of Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design.

The course originated as part of a long-term GSD research program supported through collaboration with the Spanish Ceramics Industry Association (ASCER). Since 2010, the collaboration between the GSD and Ceramics Program has matured and evolved into a thriving experiential learning opportunity for design students across disciplines and origins to converge, get their hands dirty, and be humbled through deep exploration of material and process. With a computational design, digital fabrication (including robotic fabrication) underpinning, students explore opportunities and challenges at the intersection of the *perceived* uncertainty of clay and the *lore* of certainty in the digital. The exhibition includes a collection of tools, parts, and assemblies produced by students during investigation of form, performance, and culture—all while finding a balance between the resistance of tool (physical and digital), material, and assumptions. The work can be evaluated through many lenses—sculptural and performative artifacts, stories of process, tools as objects, representations of diverse ideas from a global student body with a range of experience—all in service to learning objectives that are independent of the creation of beauty which emerges through the resistance of material.

Inspired by a greenhouse slated for demolition that Hubbard ![Gallery installation of mixed media works and ceramic buckets](/sites/g/files/omnuum4081/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/2025-05/IMG_3255.png?itok=CogdRIMx) encountered while living abroad, his recent body of work explores the theme of growth emerging from periods of dormancy. Created during his January 2025 residency at Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts, Hubbard’s ceramics invite viewers to reflect on the roots of inspiration, showing how ideas can evolve over time, just like the first signs of spring. *“Two decades later, the greenhouse still calls to me. In 2005, after moving to the Netherlands, I found inspiration at the site during a creative slump. I spent a year photographing the greenhouse as nature reclaimed it, creating mixed media works from my images and materials salvaged from the site. Frustrated by the language barrier, I incorporated Dutch words reflecting both the site and my emotions. Revisiting these works reignited my connection to the project and inspired new ceramic work, born not from frustration, but propagated from my experience abroad - optimistic, like reconnecting with an old friend and the return of spring.”* #### Artist Bio Tom Hubbard is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose practice includes ceramics, photography, mixed media, and public art installations. Characterized by a minimalist approach, his work often explores themes of loss, the effects of mobility, and reinterpreting industrial forms as elegant yet ambiguous objects. Exhibited in both the U.S. and the Netherlands, his work is included in several private and corporate collections. He is an Instructor and Lab Technician at the Office for the Arts at Harvard Ceramics Program. Born in San Francisco and holding a BFA from Indiana University, Hubbard grew up in the Midwest and has lived in Indiana, Ohio, Maine, Georgia, and The Netherlands. He currently resides in Massachusetts with his wife and a rescue dog from Mississippi. --- ![3 sculptures that resemble stacks of books](/sites/g/files/omnuum4081/files/2024-12/the_stacks_forrest_sincoff_gard_400px.png) ## *The Stacks at 224* by Forrest Sincoff Gard Exhibition dates: January 27 - March 14, 2025 Reception: Saturday, February 1, 2025, 5:00-7:00pm *The reception featured an opportunity for visitors to interact with the artwork—and a chance for them to win a prize while doing so.* [*Check out photos of this one-of-a-kind gallery experience!* ](https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjC1EYg) The Stacks at 224 is an exhibition by Forrest Sincoff Gard, 2023-2024 [Artist In Residence](https://ofa.fas.harvard.edu/ceramics/artist-residence-program) at the Office for the Arts Ceramics Program. The exhibition features all new work by Forrest that was conceptualized and made during his residency. The Stacks is the newest addition to his *Built to Play* body of work, which highlights the importance of play throughout our entire lives. In the Built to Play series, Forrest focuses on the mundane parts of life, such as toasting a waffle, folding socks, or putting a book on a shelf. He turns those moments into ceramic art objects as well as risk-and-reward games that are specific for the gallery, often challenging expectations for that space. Sincoff Gard drew inspiration for The Stacks from the bookshelves in his South End apartment as well as from Boston Public Library, Harvard’s Widener Library, and MassArt’s Morton R. Godine Library, which is where the artist collected discarded books that he used to make plaster molds. These molds were used to create the ceramic books on display. The Stacks also features other objects one might find inside a library—a large hand-built globe, a playable board game, and a wheel-thrown wall clock. Forrest’s decision to include an open plaster mold was inspired by the worktable seen on display as part of the Glass Flowers exhibition at Harvard’s Natural History Museum. He desires to share how the work was made and to remind viewers that these books were made out of clay. ### Artist bio: Forrest Sincoff Gard is an artist and an educator. He received his BFA in Ceramics from Ohio University, completed post-baccalaureate studies at the University of Florida, and earned his MFA in Studio Art from Louisiana State University. Forrest currently lives in Boston and is an instructor at Harvard Ceramics. He has previously taught in Cortona, Italy, as part of the University of Georgia’s study abroad program, as well as at the University of North Georgia, The Ohio State University, and Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Forrest has shown his ceramic art and interactive installations in exhibitions across the United States, Europe, and in South Korea, including the 8th Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale at the Icheon World Ceramics Center; the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Ponoma, California; The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena, Montana; and the Museum of Fine Arts in Tallahassee, Florida.

There are branch-like objects on the stools.](/sites/g/files/omnuum4081/files/2024-12/c_aan_6.jpg) ### Artist In Residence Exhibition On view September 27 - November 22, 2024 Reception Friday, September 27 from 5-7pm [images of the reception](https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBKJZ9) | [images of the installation](https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBKQiD) Audrey An explores the notion of home, where furniture in domestic spaces becomes a repository for physical remnants of accumulated memories, shaping and reflecting one's identity. Drawing inspiration from Korean historical furniture, artifacts, and cross-cultural iconographies, in "Wishful Things”, An creates hypothetical spaces that embrace emotional states of oscillation between cultures, offering a venue for reflection and self-personification through inanimate-objects. An explores the condition of being a 1.5 generation Korean-American, an ‘in-betweener’ who is not quite first or second generation enough. Through wishful object-making and their curation, she examines this in-betweenness, the embodiment of emotional oscillation to seek balance. Similarly to the way she moves fluidly between the two languages she speaks, An approaches her studio practice as a form of ‘code-switching’ between physical and digital work, as well as between clay and other materials such as plastic, wood, and foam. Her practice also navigates the spectrum between the analog handling of clay and digital fabrication methodologies, creating multifaceted visual renderings of objects noting on how we often remember things: sometimes exaggerated, somewhat fabricated, and glitched in low-resolution. These objects then come together as physical collages of organic and mechanized tension reflecting the complex and fragmented, but essentially harmonious feelings that transcend the cultural oscillations. 2022-2024 Ceramics Program Artist In Residence Audrey An’s creative research revolves around the notion of applying digital technologies to ceramics from the perspective of ‘convergence,’ whether it be cultural, technological, or interdisciplinary. She earned her BFA and Art History Minor from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, an MFA from Penn State University, and was a post-baccalaureate student at Colorado State University. Audrey has participated in artist residency programs at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (Deer Isle, ME), Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (Newcastle, ME) and was selected as Ceramics Monthly 2023 Emerging Artist.

Lu, 2023-24 Artist In Residence at the Office for the Arts at Harvard Ceramics Program, makes art that manipulates traditional Chinese art imagery and presentation as a way to explore how experiences of immigration, cultural hybridity, and cultural assimilation become part of American identity. The sculptures in this exhibition are a continuation of Lu’s exploration of Chinese mythology, symbols, and rituals as a way to reexamine the unacknowledged contributions of Asian Americans and other historically and systematically oppressed groups in the United States. In Chinese creation mythology, it was the mother goddess Nüwa 女媧who hand sculpted humankind from the earth. In one sculpture, soy sauce pumps through her serpent-like body. Other sculptures are studies of her hands. As the ultimate ceramicist and creator, she is a reminder of our own agency to imagine and create the world as we want it to be. Peaches, symbols of longevity in Chinese culture, are presented as objects of desire and repulsion. Three large peaches exude golden peach pits from their skins; seeds for future worlds. A temple sized incense burner invites us to seek guidance across time and space in order to transcend our current realities. Cathy Lu received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and her BA & BFA from Tufts University where she is currently Professor of the Practice in Ceramics. She has participated in artist in residence programs at Root Division, Bemis Center for the Arts, Recology SF, and the Archie Bray Foundation. Her work has been exhibited at Johansson Projects, Aggregate Space, Jessica Silverman Gallery and the Chinese Culture Center SF. She was a 2019 Asian Cultural Council/ Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation Fellow and a 2020 NCECA Emerging Artist. She likes hearing fruit stories.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard 224 Western Ave, Allston, Massachusetts Namhi Kim Wagner (1923-2023) was a passionate ceramic artist who enhanced the Boston arts scene with her creative energy and bold, modern expressions inspired by the rich history of Korean ceramics. Born in Korea, raised in Japan, and returning to Korea before emigrating to the United States, she taught Korean Language at Harvard University from 1964-1995, becoming the first director of its Korean Language Program. The “Namhi Kim Wagner Korean Language Prize” was established in 2022 to honor her legacy. Often teaching all day and staying up all night to perfect her craft, she connected to her origins by mastering Korean traditional ceramic techniques, most notably the slip decoration and sgraffiti of 15-16th century Buncheong ware. *“In the process of experimentation, practice, and studying Korean ceramics history, I was so happy to find myself - where I came from and where I was heading. Each stamp and each incision I make on my pots feels like a step closer to these roots and my destiny.”* — Namhi Kim Wagner Nancy Selvage, artist and former director of the Ceramics Program – Office for the Arts at Harvard, writes: “Among her numerous bodies of work are delicate plates with vibrant stamped patterns, swelling jars encircled with floral carving, and large bowls overflowing with big happy fish and lotuses. Dynamic tension and harmonic unity characterize the relationships between her refined forms and masterful surface decorations. In the mid 70's, most American ceramists in the Boston area knew something about Chinese and Japanese ceramics, but they knew very little about Korean ceramics. Namhi Kim Wagner changed that. For the next forty years she was very active and effective as a spokeswoman and as an entertaining teacher of Korean ceramic techniques. She gave many presentations to a variety of different audiences in major museums and studios in the Boston area. As an artist-in-residence at the Harvard Ceramics Program, she inspired the large group of students and staff with her expertise, dedication, and passion.” Namhi Kim Wagner has exhibited internationally and her work is in the collections of the Harvard Art Museums and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. This memorial exhibition presents a wide range of ceramics from her prolific career.

The works in Nature 2.0 were produced and developed in the new 3D clay printing area of the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard. Their work exists in the past and future at the same time, and is concurrently of flora, fauna, and technology. Lemaire, a glassblower, utilizes a craft invented over two thousand years ago, while Touron uses the contemporary technology of 3D-modeled and printed ceramic. As a result, their works include thousands of years of human innovation as they regard the effects of these achievements and technology on nature. In this sense, their technique and subject matter parallel one another: Lemaire and Touron reveal, in the physical sense and the philosophical, what nature can look like in sync with humans and their technology.

Challenging our understanding of positive and negative space, these sculptures assert emptiness to be the opposite of nothingness. The hollow tubes are not empty nothingness; they are full of potential, seeking transformation and reaching for hope. The empty vessel is not barren and hollow; it is replete with the potential for pulsing life and birth. These forms of emptiness open the possibility for completeness. Nothingness is everythingness. ### Artist Bio Alexandra Kim is a ceramicist from Newton, Massachusetts and is currently a senior at Harvard College with a concentration in Psychology and a secondary in Arts, Film, and Visual Studies. Working with clay since the age of eight, Kim now works with all types of clay bodies and utilizes a variety of techniques: wheel-throwing, hand-building, extruded forms, incision work, inlay, and more. Kim enjoys creating functional ceramics but has increasingly been focusing on creating sculptural pieces, often using them to create installations that explore themes of climate change, female labor, emotion and the inner life, her Korean heritage, and her Korean American identity. --- ![sculpture by Deighton Abrams](/sites/g/files/omnuum4081/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/makeart/files/deighton_moving_mountain_promo_small.jpg?itok=6zp3HELK) ## Moving Mountains A new series of ceramic sculpture from Deighton Abrams exploring the dualities of isolation versus solitude, science and spirit, human and Nature.

Just as episodes of disparate TV shows run back-to-back every day, the range of photos parallel the spectrum of television programming from documentary to cartoon, reality show to made-for-tv movie. #### UnEnd Object (Commercial Break) // Aug 8-12th: From mass media to mass production, comes the experimental commercial line *Un End Object*. Created by Andrew Castaneda and Anna Graef, *Un End Object* is a reimagined small manufactory. Industrial practices are shrunken to a human scale, to produce functional objects that question conventions. #### Thesis Show is a Finale! // Aug 20-26: Just like any good Finale, there’s a twist – a CROSSOVER/REUNION episode – Andrew Castañeda and John Domenico reunite for the MFA Thesis Show they never had in 2020 due to the showstopping outbreak of Covid-19. #### Demonstration: Saturday, August 20, 2022 // 10am-4pm Andrew Castañeda started *demonstrating* on a skateboard for neighborhood kids in Costa Mesa. This time, Andrew reunites with John Domenico and Anna Graef at Harvard Ceramics for six hours of working in-and-out of clay. This particular trifecta met at Pennsylvania State University in 2018. Always learning from each other, each will share their approaches to making– from miniscule to monumental, opposable thumbs to circle machine, sculpting the physical to confecting with light. Be there. ##### Andrew Castañeda Bio From mailbox firework hooligan to Eagle Scout, Andrew grew up surfing and skateboarding in sunny southern California. Andrew is constantly analyzing the symbols that construct the world around him. Decoding information allows him to reconstruct his own symbologies, telling his own stories. While he fully embraces the spontaneity of life as an artist, he is also a true Virgo. Andrew has work in two private collections: The American Museum of Ceramic Arts at Pomona, CA and the Kansas City Art Institute Teaching Collection. Andrew earned his BFA in ceramics from the Kansas City Art Institute, and then his MFA from Penn State University. ##### Anna Graef Bio Anna is curious about the spaces and modalities in which she operates, and how they overlap. Anna was selected as an ASPN resident at Red Lodge Clay Center last summer, and work exchanged at Harvard Ceramics this past year. Anna earned her BFA in Ceramics from Pennsylvania State University, and will join CU Boulder’s Ceramic MFA program this fall. [www.annagraef.com](https://www.annagraef.com) ##### John Domenico Bio John Domenico is an artist and founder of La Serra Collective – a nonprofit in Denver, Colorado focused around art accessibility. With a background in both art and materials science, much of his work explores the nuanced and expansive ways art can and does shape our human experience.

For over a decade, faculty from the GSD have collaborated with the Harvard Ceramics Program to offer an experiential learning opportunity for design students that links research and experimentation in emerging digital technologies with the context of ceramic material systems. The course combines technological developments relating to the way in which things are designed (digital modeling, simulation, generative design, etc.) and the way things are made (automation, computer-controlled equipment including robotics, advanced materials, etc.) in search of new opportunities. Each object exhibited here is the result of prototyping and experimentation during the pursuit of a research question – it represents a step in a process of exploration, rather than a finished product. Course led by Professors Nathan King and Zach Seibold, assisted by Gabby Perry, Teaching Assistant In consultation with Kathy King, Director, Geoff Booras, Operations Coordinator and Casey Zeng, Ceramics Program Staff #### Featuring work by Harvard Graduate School of Design Students: Saad Boujane, Trent Bullion, Shant Charoian, Danny Clarke, Amelia Gan, George Guida, Sarah Hopper, Dongyun Kim, Annabelle Li, Yang Sun Lim, Elsa Mendoza, Elissa Palmer, Devashree Shah, Wei Wu, Zhenyu Yang, Hye Jun Youn, and Ivan Zhang *Image: Project title: Sono-Textures* *Project team: Danny Clarke, Saad Boujane, Yang Sun Lim, Elsa Mendoza* [More images of this exhibition on Flickr](https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzALqY) --- ![Teapot with floral design](/sites/g/files/omnuum4081/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/2024-12/website_default_image_size_400x400.png?itok=FqjoovFZ) ## Vernal Life ## Ruth Easterbrook **November 5 - November 23, 2021** Solo exhibition of work by Ruth Easterbrook, 2019-20 Artist In Residence at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard.

In May 2020, a few months after the Ceramics Program paused in-person classes and studio access due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a small group of Ceramics Program instructors agreed to try teaching hands-on visual art classes over Zoom. Our initial four-week experimental term went well and led to many more sessions and iterations of online classes covering a wide variety of techniques and media. For more than a year, the Ceramics Program community stayed connected via these online programs, which drew participants from all over the world. In Fall 2021, the Ceramics Program resumed in-person classes at 224 Western Ave in Allston, and we continue to offer online classes as well. ## Instructors featured in this exhibition include: Deighton Abrams, Geoff Booras, Paul Briggs, Ruth Easterbrook, Ben Eberle, Anne Eder, Marek Jacisin, Kyle Johns, Kathy King, Denny McLaughlin, Steve Murphy, Claudia Olds Goldie, Paul Wisotzky, Stephanie Young Organization and installation of this exhibit by Kathy King, Darrah Bowden, Deighton Abrams, Pamela Gorgone, Diane Lulek, and the artists. --- ![Peter Berry standing next to a shelf of pottery](/sites/g/files/omnuum4081/files/styles/hwp_1_1__360x360_scale/public/2024-12/peter_berry_exhibition_image-8.jpg?itok=r72tFQFm) ## In Celebration of Peter Berry **Virtual Opening Reception: Friday, December 4, 5:30pm EST.** [**Access the recording of the reception**](https://harvard.zoom.us/rec/play/9ImrWiqvuk68G3-vzwmLEw536dAw-E-8A86uX4hNNOKOZ30YaDLcNGzyz4vPQ5P1lydMK135Onekoeet.YIvJC8QBbM_1na2O?continueMode=true&_x_zm_rtaid=qltkI49eSGiMvG60o22Rfg.1607125657680.59e9815d74a6e505222486c318cb26ef&_x_zm_rhtaid=272) **Online Exhibition & Sale Dates: December 4, 2020** Peter Berry, a longtime Harvard Ceramics Program staff member, instructor, mentor, and artist, passed away on March 9, 2020 from an aggressive form of cancer.
