Arrowmont Ceramic Surface Symposium

On Sunday morning, Arrowmont’s Program Director, Bill Griffith, welcomed a group of eighteen ceramic artists to the Second Annual Ceramic Surface Forum. 

Current Artist-in-Residence, Jason Burnett, introduced this forum for the first time last year as a platform for early-, mid- and seasoned-career artists to take a break from their normal studio life and come together for a week. The function of the forum is to be a creative retreat for individual growth as well as to strengthen and build relationships within the ceramic field. 

The daily structure begins with slide presentations each morning followed by a day in the studio to evolve according to the participants and may include everything from focused work time to conversation to impromptu demos to collaborations.
