From the making and development of basic shapes, the author progresses to the mold- ing of all kinds of more elaborate shapes from slabs, strips and rolls of clay. In addition to pure designs, these shapes include numerous masks and animals. The making of bowls, vases and other hollow shapes follows. Instruction and suggestions are accomplished almost entirely by photo- graphs which will certainly encourage the reader fa emulate -- rather than to mechanically copy ~ the wide variety of ideas presented. This wonderful text will be an aid to those who are learning and those who are teaching others how to explore the creative possibilities of clay.

  • Indiana Central and All That Jazz
    /Indiana Central and all that jazz Indiana Central’s first jazz ensemble was comprised of J. Lynn Arbogast on the piano; Edwin McCune on clarinet; Donald Klinger on violin; Paul Ar- bogast on banjo; and Everett Hoffman on drums. This 1924 photograph was forwarded to the Alumni News by Lynn W. Turner ’27, who wrote, “I think the title we have given it-Indiana Central’s First Jazz Ensemble - is legitimate, even though I doubt whether this group ever gave a public performance. It was the day when George Gershwin and Paul Whiteman were first making jazz respectable, and we decided at Central that it wasn’t a sin to indulge in it occasionally, so you have at least three preacher’s sons in this picture.” 0 McMemorabilia ?

  • Kondō Yutaka (1932-1983)
    KONDŌ YUTAKA (1932-1983) Kondō Yutaka studied at Kyoto City University of Art with three Living National Treasures: his father Kondō Yuzō (1902-1985), designated for sometsuke ware (cobalt blue-glazed porcelain), Fujimoto Nōdō (1919-92), known for his overglaze works, and Tomimoto Kenkichi (1886-1963), who revolutionized Japanese ceramics as both artist and influential teacher. After graduating in 1955 and until his untimely death in 1983, Kondō also taught ceramic courses at the university. He drew inspiration from medieval Chinese, Korean, and Islamic ceramic aesthetics, which he studied first- hand during several trips abroad. Of these various techniques, the style of punch’ong ware from 15th – 16th century Korea, characterized by a white liquid slip-inlay and a black glazed surface, became Kondō’s signature aesthetic. 1932 Born in Kyoto 1955 Graduated from ceramic department of Kyoto City University of Arts 1957 Studied with Tomimoto Kenkichi and Kondō Yūzō 1961 Appointed assistant at Kyoto City University of Fine Arts 1962-63 Traveled to U.S. and Europe, taught at Indiana University with Karl Martz 1964 Appointed Instructor at Kyoto City College of Fine Arts 1966 Japan Ceramics Association Award 1969 Participated in field research in Papua New Guinea 1971 Appointed Assistant Professor at Kyoto City University of Arts 1972 Invited to teach at Indiana University 1977 Participated in field research in Afghanistan and Korea 1979 Visiting instructor, Queen Elizabeth II Academy of Fine Arts in New Zealand 1980 Appointed Professor at Kyoto
