O-LIVE you!
I have an unnatural love of olives. Stuff them with jalepenos, blue cheese or even the lowly pimento… I don’t care. I love olives so much I have a beautiful little dish I bought from a ceramics show specifically for olives shaped like a lovely little trough that prevents my having to chase olives all over my plate. One problem… the dish is no longer big enough. If you make it to the opening for this next Call, please find a new olive solution for me while you’re perusing the BEST in clay work, function or not. Take a look…

JUROR: Judith S. Schwartz, Ph.D., has identified an international movement of artists who use clay confrontationally within the context of what might be called: art activism. This research culminated in the book, Confrontational Ceramics. She lectures internationally to bring ideas and artists together in the service of clay. Her current community service is spent for Watershed, a residency in Maine that supports serious artists to work in clay and the K-12 Foundation for early childhood education in the ceramic arts.
Schwartz has been a professor for 30 years (Director of Sculpture in Craft Media at New York University) helping young artists reach their potential. She started a Museum for Ceramic Art to open in NYC, and curates numerous exhibitions, some of which have received critical acclaim. She teaches studio courses in ceramic sculpture for undergrad and graduate students. She has received many awards, including the JD Rockefeller III grant in Art Education, the Everson Museum’s award for service and excellence in the field of ceramic education, Honors Award from the National Council on Education in the Ceramic Arts, the Distinguished Service Award from The Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY, and, most recently, a Fullbright (senior specialist category).
