Now all that energy is funneled into my studio, full-time potter with a home studio. I blend studio practice with Rat City Studios (RCS), the people that move through the shared my home life.

8 ceramic arts 2019 | Yearbook and Annual Buyers Guide I am working in the studio is one of my favorite things. As my career moved forward, I received requests from artists asking to assist me, to learn how my studio practice happened. As a student, I had two meaningful learning experiences working for potters and a fabulous academic foundation to spring from. I believe there is a need for experiential learning and I want to give back. Even with these strong role models, I have struggled with the business aspects of being a maker, maintaining clarity of goals in tough times, and deciding on the best step to take next. Support and guidance was crucial for me, but in the end, taking steps forward is a personal decision that requires courage and intention. I empathize with the difficulty of figuring it all out and taking action. It is still overwhelming. In being self employed, I have the autonomy, freedom, and responsibility for all the decisions, movement, and difficulties that happen at the studio and with my work. I love it. RCS has a lot going on and I need help managing it all. I could never accomplish everything by myself—all the clay work, 2 teaching classes, maintaining a facility, and general chores. I need companionship and camaraderie in the studio. The energy others have for their own work and ideas is contagious. By trading people studio space in exchange for their help in and around the studio, I hope that we will all grow and get help with what we need. Now, I am gathering people to the studio to activate interaction and seeking collaborations with businesses to create new environments for us all to engage with and show our artwork. I want to be involved in the community. As assistant applications come in each year, it excites me to notice trends in our field. I want to share in the delight as an assistant gets their first article published. It makes me feel good when I see the sparkle that happens when a community student learns to throw. Hold- ing classes here brings so much energy to the studio. I want to create opportunities that foster the progress of the group. Bring- ing people together thrills me. I believe cross-pollinating diverse groups widens the circle of what we consider community, and this is my top priority. Disappointment is real. I wish I had space for everyone who applied to come here. There are challenges in working with people. Holding some of the responsibility for other people’s work can be heavy. Students’ pots crack and glazes adhere to the shelves. Kilns or clay bodies have their technical problems. Com- munication with assistants can break down in a lack of the right words, tiredness, or bruised egos. Struggles in personal spaces color mindsets. It can feel like we are working hard for such small 3 steps forward. It can be downright discouraging—but, this is where the hard-core learning happens. And, I am trying my best to absorb these lessons and bring them forward with me. Failing 1 Deb Schwartzkopf at Rat City Studios. Photo: Jayme Verfaillie. is part of learning too.

have undertaken. The sense of order, purpose, and beauty within it feeds me, and I hope this inspires others as well. Thoughtful moments in alone-time spaces are a sounding board for my inner questions and generative ideas. This essential quiet time feeds my ability to give to others.

Eds: Do you have any advice for artists who would like to make a positive impact in the ceramic arts beyond making work? 10 DS: Have discipline and be curious. Spend time outside of clay or the studio. The richness of experience, the perspectives you gain and those shared with others, and the people you draw near to you will feed you in unexpected ways. Then you will have more to share with others and multiple ways of connecting with the people around you. But also, follow at least one thing you have a passion for deeply. Sticking with clay for the long haul has given me a wonderful way to connect and see the world. Of course every lens of experience is narrowing in some way, but clay deepened my self-understanding through critical practice, helped me build a meaningful network of friends and colleagues, and over the years has been a catalyst for more experiences than I could ever have imagined.

Woman’s Hour Craft Prize The Woman’s Hour Craft Prize began in 2016 as a way to celebrate the most innovative and exciting artists in the UK. The 1500 submissions were whittled down to the finalists and then eventually to the winner, Phoebe Cummings. The prize totals $13,243 (£10,000) and is unrestricted, so Cum- mings can use it to fund any aspect of her studio practice, in which she creates sculptures from unfired clay. Her work is temporary and temporal, responding to the world around us. Each piece only lasts the length of the exhibition, after which, the clay is reclaimed for future use. For the Craft Prize, she created a fountain that dis- solves as the water flows. With the winner decided, the work that was presented for the award moves on to a traveling exhibition.

Throughout his years, he developed a deep understanding of glazes and casting. In 1997, he was awarded the AVA Ceramics Award. He was known for his geometric-shaped sculptures, which he combined with flowers to accentuate and respond to the form. He created a unique and specific glaze for each individual piece, which allowed some of the pieces to resemble alternative materials. —Sourced from Terra Delft April 4, 2018. Copyright 2018.
