The Academy is Full of Craft July 28, 2009 – February 20, 2010 In the decades following the second world war, craft curricula proliferated in college and university art departments throughout the United States, as scores of American veterans entered the educational system. The Academy is Full of Craft reflects the shifts that ensued as ceramics moved out of industry and into the academic art world, cultivating dynamic new generations of makers. Focusing on ceramic works from the Museum's collection, The Academy is Full of Craft maps out the connections between individuals from several generations of academic instruction. These ties will be visually linked through works by such critical ceramists as Peter Voulkos, Frances Senska and Ken Ferguson, and regional influencers Ken Shores and Ray Grimm. This three-dimensional timetable will be designed by Studio Gorm (John Arndt and Wonhee Jeong), of the product design department at University of Oregon, in collaboration with the Museum.
