Editors: What is the most important thing that has happened in your career so far and why? Roberto Lugo: Without a doubt it was my first ceramics class at Seminole State College in Sanford, Florida. It felt like I finally met the community I had always been looking for. I had yet to see myself as an artist and always felt like an other, but my professor Jay Spalding supported me and saw my potential. Not only is this class significant because it was the first time I sat at a potter’s wheel but it was also where I met my wife. It is incredible to walk with someone who saw you touch clay for the first time, to have her witness my career, and for us to share in our artistic efforts. Spalding taught us to throw bowls but I couldn’t see the wheel as a tool to make pots, as I had no experience with pottery. I saw it as a machine that makes round things. I began to make wheel-thrown fire hydrants to commemorate when my father and I would open and enjoy the fire hydrant—sometimes with a bar of soap. At the time, my wife encouraged me by sharing how talented she thought I was. She gave me a confidence that I never had. My childhood modeled me into a person who feels sub-human, so in order to pursue any career, especially in art, I needed someone there to constantly reassure me that I had something to offer. Everything that I have done is half her doing—having her by my side, with me, not only as a wife but also as a partner, agent, and motivational speaker is the most important thing that has happened in my career.

Eds: Can you talk about the ways that social activism has become a larger part of the ceramics field? How has it affected your career path and how has it impacted your studio work? RL: I have witnessed folks questioning the purpose of going to college for ceramics and exploring everything they can do with their passion for clay. Artists are often people who feel and are empathetic. It can be difficult to receive the pleasure of sitting at a potters wheel and enjoy working in the studio when you are aware of injustices to marginalized groups. I myself turned to activism as a reaction to my college experience.

8 ceramic arts 2018 | Yearbook and Annual Buyers Guide My brother was incarcerated at one point while I was in college and it broke my heart because I couldn’t enjoy making when I knew he was doing the opposite of his dream. This led me to want more—I think this is the path that many artists have found themselves on. This experience affected my studio work because I make and sell just enough of my work so that I can spend time pursuing my other passion, which is introducing clay to every nook and cranny of the black and Hispanic communities , which don’t often have access to clay. My studio work is a supplemental component of my practice because what I really want to do is become irrelevant. I want so many people of color to become ceramic artists that I am just one grain of sand in a sunny beach where we all go to play. I think that is what it is all about; ceramic artists feel so much joy in what we do that we want to ensure that everyone has that opportunity if they choose to pursue it.

Eds: How do you balance the demands of making work, teaching, family life, lecturing and sharing your experience through workshops, and actively working to inspire and support more involvement by people of color in our field? RL: This was especially difficult at first because as artists we apply to so many things and are rejected that we rejoice in the acceptances. So when I began to received unsolicited opportunities, I took them all in spite of its negative effects on time with my family and my own health. I began to create my own system of priorities: first is my faith and family, then my teaching, and the other facets are part of a larger practice. It is difficult to differentiate my studio work from my workshops and lectures as I see them all as chipping away at this bigger picture of creating more diversity in the field of ceramics. In the end I believe creating more involvement for people of color in the field is the answer to many of my concerns. I think that I have been so in demand because people are unaware of how many fascinating artists of color we have working in clay. Since my 2015 NCECA Emerg- ing Artist lecture, I have traveled across the country, given over 30 lectures, and have received many standing ovations; however, none of it compared to teaching through The Clay Studio’s Claymobile program in the same elementary school I had attended. I worked with the children on a self-portrait project focused on the theme “three things you like about yourself.” I don’t think my (or anyone’s) efforts to increase diversity will be reflected in the current cultural make-up of our field. I believe it will take generations and I hope that ceramics has adapted by that time in order to make people of color feel welcome. The cultural make-up of our entire population is changing and the more we can adjust to it, the longer we will be able to keep making work.

Eds: In addition to making artwork and teaching, you recently received a United States Artist Fellowship, and are highly involved in many other aspects of our field—as an organizer, speaker, curator, NCECA Director-at-Large, and serving on the board of trustees at Haystack, where you’ve also established a scholarship for people of color. How are all of these different roles connected? Do you have any advice for artists who would like to make a positive impact in the ceramic arts beyond making work?

This is an important part of inclusivity, thinking about your own system of assessment and how that may be detrimental to applicants who are not from a place of privilege. This is why I was accepted into Penn State University’s Ceramics Graduate Program. Shannon Goff saw that I had ideas and just needed to improve on how I make—the faculty took a chance on me and I think they have been happy with my contribution to the field. We are all capable of incorporating this type of analysis into our decision making. Maybe one person’s handle isn’t as good as this others person’s handle but the ideas they’re expressing are equally engaging. What if you consider that the person who has inferior 3 handles makes them that way because of their life experiences? I often make hasty decisions because I’m impatient; this impatience comes from the resourcefulness of growing up in a poor neighbor- hood where you often have to say, “that’s good enough.” That’s often what I do with my pots. I see that has an effect many may see as a defect, but I believe this type of judgement leaves many artists at a disadvantage. It’s important to recognize that people often see the world differently because of their life experiences and their artwork will reflect that collection of experiences. Going to a store is different if you’re often followed by security, and making a pot is often different if you didn’t grow up using hand-made pottery, or have experiences making art in school.

Eds: What are some of your plans for 2018 and beyond? RL: I hope to spend more time at home to be with my family and pick a few projects to work on. I am also taking on a new position as assistant professor of ceramics at Tyler School of Art in my home town of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Prospective students: please apply. I am eager to work with the students and faculty there. In 2018, I will have a solo exhibition at the Walters Art Mu- seum in Baltimore, Maryland. This is an incredible opportunity as I will be working with their world-class curators, educators, and collection in order to produce an exhibition that bridges cultures. 4 The building that the exhibition will be placed in was the home 1 Frederick Douglass/Arthur Ashe Urn, 18 in.

In my five-year plan, I am planting the seeds to create a pottery workshop in Puerto Rico, which has rich beautiful red clay and an incredible culture. It will take some time to complete the necessary research and fund raising, so this is a long-term goal.

Eds: What additional roles do you think makers can play in expanding access to the field? RL: I think they can play the role of advocates by pursuing fundraising for folks other than themselves. What if you know a young artist who really wants to take a workshop but can’t afford it? Why not sell some of your work in order to sponsor them? We often see fundraising done for personal projects but what if we saw an influx of pots being sold to support someone else? Institutions and organizations like Haystack and NCECA are doing incredible jobs to create accessibility. If all else fails, I would consider supporting them financially.

Eds: Who are some of the most talented up-and-coming artists you have met through your workshops and lectures? RL: I honestly feel that the most under-rated ceramic artist in our field is Margaret Kinkeade of Kansas City. I have yet to meet someone who has her quality of mark making and form—she works both in installation as well as functional pottery. I have met several talented young people like Isaac Scott of Seattle who was the first recipient of the scholarship that I began with Haystack. His work is created from a unique per- spective and I feel without a doubt he will have a great career in clay—he’s a natural. Lastly, I met a young artist, Breana Hendricks, who was the recipient of a Windgate Fellowship from the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design. She has been working with glazes and slips to create profound compositions. I was blown away by her mind and knowledge; as a student in my class, she taught me several 8 new techniques.

PSZ Clay Center The Pioneer School Zanesville (PSZ) Clay Center was created at the former 30,000 square-foot Pioneer School in Zanesville, Ohio. The clay center’s aim is to offer residential and community learning experiences for ceramic artists. The former classrooms on the first floor have been converted into studios and the second floor has been converted into living spaces and a kitchen for the resident artists. In 2016, Doug Jeck and Christine Golden, the first residents at the PSZ Clay Center, worked collaboratively on a series of busts, which have since been exhibited at Pottery Northwest in Seattle, Washing- ton. Recently PSZ Clay Center held their inaugural exhibition in the

Katherine Mitzel Gallery. The exhibition featured works by PSZ Clay 2 Center’s 2017 summer residents: Kelsey Duncan, Alison Fawcett, Levon Miller, and Tina Vu. The PSZ Clay Center is supported by the David and Katerine Mitzel Family Fund at the Muskingum County Community Foundation.
