Event Description : LILA PRISM lecture "Ceramic Culture As Continuity" a talk by Kristine
Michael, Ceramic artist and teacher.
Abstract :
The magical convergence of symbol and practice in the ceramic tradition of India reveals a fascinating interplay of history and myth. The artist’s own practice forms itself as a means of pushing boundaries of material and subject matter. The humblest of vessels holds an echo of antiquity and collective memory as well as a vibrant contemporary vision in the ceramic art of the 21st century.
Bio of the Speaker: Kristine Michael trained in ceramic design with Dashrath Patel at The National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and subsequently with Alan Caiger Smith at Aldermaston Pottery, UK. Her formative creative years in Auroville and at The Golden Bridge Pottery in Pondicherry with Ray Meeker and Deborah Smith built a strong base in wood firing and stoneware glazes. She has received numerous awards, and her work is a part of important collections in England, Korea, the USA and Austria. She has written articles on ceramics – both historical and contemporary – as well as on ceramic artists, in publications likeTreasures of the Albert Hall Museum Jaipur, Devi Prasad, PR Daroz catalogue for Art Alive,Handicrafts of Gujarat, and the yet to be published Jaipur Blue Pottery, among others. She has participated in many international exhibitions and lectures on Indian ceramics. She is based in New Delhi and is currently Curriculum Leader of Visual and Performing Arts at The British School New Delhi.
