I have developed a project which now resides and is hosted by the Museum of Ceramic Art – New York. The project is a searchable online resource for ceramic destinations around the world and is called Ceramic World Destinations.
This compilation of ceramic destinations is intended to increase visibility for ceramics, provide professional interchange, and introduce an entirely new population to the field of clay.
You can participate by sending your favorite ceramic destinations by entering the name, country, and URL for each recommendation on this online form:
Classifications of ceramic-centric destinations are Galleries, Institutions, Manufacturers, Museums, Organizations, Residencies, Shops, Design centers, Historic cultural villages, Landmark murals, Architectural sites, Archeological sites, and special events such as Biennale competitions. Artists’ studios can be listed, but only if a studio is open to the public.
On June 5th, I was invited to have an online conversation with Garth Johnson, Curator of Ceramics, Everson Museum of Art, and Paul Kotula of the Paul Kotula Gallery regarding the artist Howard Kottler.

Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 virus, this year’s NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) conference in Richmond, Virginia was cancelled. I was scheduled to be panel moderator for “What’s in a Mark,” with panelists Margaret Carney, Mark Hewitt, and Bethann Gerstein. Hopefully, we will all have the chance to reconvene again soon.
The Jurors took a break after deliberations from the GICB 2019 Ceramic Biennale and were toured through the newly developed Ye Village. The location is a mecca for local ceramic artists who have settled in this region providing spacious studios, living spaces, galleries and museum to support the clay community near Icheon.
