The latest issue of The Studio Potter journal has hit mailboxes, and you are either already savoring each article of the summer issue, or truly missing out on The New Yorker of ceramics magazines. Mary Barringer, the editor of this non-profit for nearly six years, chooses the theme for each issue a year in advance. When this summer’s theme was named, the country was heading into a contentious election and financial turmoil. We, as artists, studio potters and sculptors, college professors, art teachers, students and collectors, feel the big issues of the day in our studios, on campus, at home and in the gallery. “Change” has become a ubiquitous word (liked or loathed) for these last twelve months. It signifies things big, small, constant and illusive. Become a member* and read how eighteen contributors in the ceramics field chose to approach this wide-ranging theme.
