2017 NCECA Conference Panel featuring Namita Wiggers], Bill Will, Demian Dine Yazhi, Sara Siestreem
What is the history of clay in Portland and Oregon?
This program offers multiple perspectives on the thousands of years of clay history in this state. Moving quickly through history, this program surveys the story of clay from Native American traditions to settler pottery; Arts and Crafts through W.P.A; academic shifts with the histories of Pacific Stoneware, Oregon Ceramic Studio, Oregon Potter’s Association, and Museum of Contemporary Craft to the present day.
We will unpack and connect ceramics histories through photographs, archives, film, readings, and more in a performance of history by walking you through who, how and why we use clay in the ground beneath our feet in this part of the Pacific Northwest.
