Jacques Vesery sea pottery, silver wire Barbara Fernald Why It Matters, Peter Korn states, “What matters about making is that it is a form of being William Coperthwaite, A Handmade Life: In Search of Simplicity, Barbara Walch Jemma Gascoine creatively engaged in the world that seems to really be a key to finding meaning and fulfillment in 2004. Fred Woell 1 one’s life.” Hands are, in a manner of speaking, the agents of that sought-after meaning and fulfillment. They turn the clay, guide the chisel, hammer the silver. Hands are inspired to shape and style by the creative visions the artists have in their heads. Somehow the intellect and the extremities go, well, hand in hand. It must be said that in this remarkable collaboration, the hands do most of the hard work. While they may be at the beck and call of the mind, they hold the tools and test the heat; they clutch and cobble and grip and glue. They callous and sometimes get cut; they take a stitch for the team. In this time of constant updated technology, it is with extra wonder and respect that we look upon people using their hands to create something. No nostalgia here: it’s just plain awe we feel when a piece of brown ash is split and transformed into a glorious basket. Not that hands-free is bad; we need to keep our eyes on the road. And technology can enhance the creative process as Haystack Mountain School of Crafts director Stuart Kestenbaum recently noted. Describing the partnership his school and MIT established at the “Digital Dialogues: Technology and the Hand” conference in Deer Isle in 2002, he envisions technology representing 2 “a continuum in our lives as makers.” Barbara Walch, Tea Set, handbuilt stoneware Jeanne Seronde Perkins, Silk Scarf, hand-painted Jacquard silk colors.

    Cross-Cultural Exchange in the Post-Medieval Adriatic: An examination of glass artefacts from the 15th through mid-18th centuries By: Samantha Garwood A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Archaeology September 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support, guidance, and access to materials provided by friends, family, and colleagues throughout the last four years. Thanks must first be given to my supervisor, Hugh Willmott, for allowing me this amazing research opportunity, and for putting up with my general lack of knowledge. Thanks must also be given to Phil McCluskey, who very kindly continued to support my research even after his time at Sheffield came to an end. Thanks also to the University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities for the scholarship which made this possible. Thank you to the many museums who granted me access to their collections: Muzej grada Trogira, especially Lujana Paraman; the Arheološka zbirka Osor – Lošinjski muzej, particularly Jasminka Ćus-Rukonić; Marina Lambasa, Emil Podrug, and the Muzej grada Šibenika; Radmila Biondić and Marina Kovač at the Muzej Slavonije; Igor Mihajlović at the Hrvatski restauratorski zavod; Dr Vesna Bikić at the Institute of Archaeology in Belgrade; and Ðivo Bašić at Pomorski Muzej, Dubrovački Muzeji. Thank you also to Ilir Parangoni for showing me some of the glass finds from Butrint, and to Nikolina Topić, Margherita Ferri, and Luka Bekić for sharing their research with me. Finally, thank you to my family and friends for supporting me through all of this.

  • Holmqvist Et Al 2018 Tracing Grog and Pots to Reveal Neolithic CWC
    Author's Accepted Manuscript Final published version of the article is available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2017.12.009 Journal of Archaeological Science 91 (2018) 77–91 Tracing grog and pots to reveal neolithic Corded Ware Culture contacts in the Baltic Sea region (SEM-EDS, PIXE) Elisabeth Holmqvist, Åsa M. Larsson, Aivar Kriiska, Vesa Palonen, Petro Pesonen, Kenichiro Mizohata, Paula Kouki, Jyrki Räisänen Abstract The Neolithic Corded Ware Culture (CWC) complex spread across the Baltic Sea region ca. 2900/2800– 2300/2000 BCE. Whether this cultural adaptation was driven by migration or diffusion remains widely debated. To gather evidence for contact and movement in the CWC material culture, grog-tempered CWC pots from 24 archaeological sites in southern Baltoscandia (Estonia and the southern regions of Finland and Sweden) were sampled for geochemical and micro-structural analyses. Scanning electron micro-scopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) were used for geochemical discrimination of the ceramic fabrics to identify regional CWC pottery-manufacturing traditions and ceramic exchange. Major and minor element concentrations in the ceramic body matrices of 163 individual vessels and grog temper (crushed pottery) present in the ceramic fabrics were measured by SEM- EDS. Furthermore, the high-sensitivity PIXE technique was applied for group confirmation. The combined pot and grog matrix data reveal eight geochemical clusters. At least five geochemical groups appeared to be associated with specific find locations and regional manufacturing traditions. The results indicated complex inter-site and cross-Baltic Sea pottery exchange patterns, which became more defined through the grog data, i.e., the previous generations of pots.

  • Committee and All Who Have Made This Event Possible: Thank You for This Exciting Event
    Jakarta Contemporary Ceramics Biennale # 2 1 A Welcome from The Head of Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik Greetings to you, A museum is a permanent non-profi t institution, whose aim is to serve the public by communicating and exhibiting works of historical import, as a place for public learning. It also serves as a center of information and as a place for educational recreation. As part of the museum’s tangible role as a place for knowledge exchange, this year, in 2012, we are proud to present an international-scale exhibition: the Second Jakarta Contemporary Ceramics Biennale (JCCB#2), with the theme of “Crafting Identity”. This exhibition has become the Museum’s routine two-yearly program. Certainly, we will continue to develop upon the exhibition format and expand our international network. This exhibition also includes overseas ceramic artists, who will exhibit their works alongside Indonesian ceramic artists. And so we hope that there will be an exchange of skills and knowledge between them. We also hope to encourage and highlight these creative artists so that their works will receive wider recognition, both at home and abroad. In addition, this exhibition is held with the hopes that the public will be encouraged to visit museums more frequently. We also wish to introduce Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik (the Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics) to a wider Indonesian public, as well as visitors from abroad. It is very fi tting for the Museum to take an active role in supporting Indonesian ceramic art development. We hope that this exhibition will become an inspiration for creative individuals to continue their work and a chance to highlight the Museum’s advantages to the visiting public.
