Why Teach Ceramics?
"There is nothing in education quite like teaching ceramics. Inherently interdisciplinary, ceramics underpin the world economy while students and teachers love the process and results. Addressing cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor domains in a single captivating act, ceramics creates in the learner the compulsion to learn more for intensely personal reasons. All the research on this reality demonstrates that student scores rise when ceramics motivates them to learn. Why merely study the world when we can hold it in our hands to create new, personal meaning by practicing the ancient arts that gave us computer chips, fiber optics, solar panels, microscopes, telescopes, and cameras? Today’s tech world leads to views from art history, geography, economics, chemistry, physics, and design across the curriculum - all connecting to the earth in their hands. Education thrives when students crave more engagement. The ceramic arts feed that hunger for more."
