We know children should never be left to fire a ceramic kiln (not even if it's a likeness of her teacher). But, our kilns are so easy to operate that children sometimes get the idea that they could handle the job. This easy operation is one of the reasons our kilns are so perfect for use in schools. For example, all five of our models have a completely reliable automatic shut-off that's built right into the kiln. This safeguards against over-firing. We also have a dust-proof lid that eliminates siftina. And you can fire a Skutt Kiln every day without forced cooling. This page isn't big enough to list all the advantages of our kiln. So, we'll stop bragging for now. But if you want to know more about our company and products, drop us a line We have a new brochure we'd like to send you Sku~,t Ceramic Products Inc., 2618 S.E.

  • Voulkos: the Breakthrough Years Is First Exhibition Devoted to Pivotal Early Works by Peter Voulkos
    VOULKOS: THE BREAKTHROUGH YEARS IS FIRST EXHIBITION DEVOTED TO PIVOTAL EARLY WORKS BY PETER VOULKOS NEW YORK, NY (October 18, 2016) – The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) presents Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years, on view from October 18, 2016, through March 15, 2017. Spanning the years 1953–1968, the exhibition is the first to focus exclusively on the early career of Peter Voulkos, whose radical techniques and ideas opened up new possibilities for clay that are still being felt today. In the words of Glenn Adamson, the co-curator of the exhibition, “Nearly everyone involved in ceramic art has a Voulkos story to tell. He was a charismatic figure, and his influence was tremendously important for the history of the medium. This exhibition gets past the personality, and follows the progression of his ideas in this crucial period of his career. It is fascinating to see him wrestling his materials into new forms, producing one breakthrough moment after another.” Initially trained as a traditional potter, Voulkos defied mid-century craft dictums of proper technique and form to completely reinvent clay as a medium. He combined wheel throwing with slab building, traditional glazes with epoxy paint, figuration with abstraction, and made huge sculptural structures with complex internal engineering. Rocking Pot, an iconic early example, is a massive upside-down bowl punctured with saber-like forms penetrating the exterior walls. Intentionally kinetic, the sculpture is a mockery of the rule that properly made ceramics should never rock on a flat surface. 2 COLUMBUS CIRCLE NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019 P 212.299.7777 MADMUSEUM.ORG Though Voulkos would continue to work in bronze, paint, and printmaking for the remainder of his career, ceramics was the medium he always found the most instinctive: “Now me and a ball of clay, we’ll get together and it’s perfect,” he once said.
