Ceramics: Models of Collaboration is a conference, a think tank, a presentation venue, a publication, and a tea party. It examines collaborative trends across ceramic practices. Using history as an expansive point of entry for a variety of practices and technology as a window into potential, this weekend offers a look at ceramics in the broadest possible context.

What would the ceramics field look like without barriers between makers, designers, industry, scientific research, historical research, and theory? What would a collaborative effort that took us out of our studios, our offices, and our laboratories yield?

Ceramics: Models of Collaboration provides an opportunity to experience ceramics as a site of inquiry. This three day conference offers a platform on which to explore the plurality of the material, using themes of collabortion. Ceramics has always crossed the boundaries of architecture, technology, and history. By coming together and presenting or enacting our own collaborative endeavors, models and recipes will emerge.
