The Creative Process

After juried selection of applicants, the seven guest artists came to Cincinnati in July 2003 for a month-long summer workshop at DAAP/UC while living in the homes of Cincinnati residents.

While here, each artist will

• Provide one piece each of traditional and contemporary ceramic work for a group exhibition in DAAP showcases.
• Give a public slide lecture on the art history of ceramics in their hometown.
• Teach her/his creative process and techniques to the other artists in the workshop at DAAP.
• Participate with the group in design exercises led by Suzanne Fisher (Cincinnati Designer) and Jim Fearing (Architect) following a general plan that has been pre-approved by the Park Board.

Each master artist will be assigned one column, and altogether the artists will design and fabricate nearly 7000 unglazed ceramic mosaic tiles to decorate the surface of the colonnade of the Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park Multi-Purpose Building (the "Pavilion").
