THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CERAMICS SYMPOSIUM - EDGES;
In Thought. In Hiatory. In Clay. Toronto. Oct.17-20.,
1985. Five hundred participants will come together
to probe the state of ceramic art through attendance
at leetures by leading ceramists, historians and
eritics. There will be special presentations and tours
of the City's public collections and contemporary
exhibitions of ceramic art at approximately 40 of the
leading public art galleries, museums and private
galleries.
The International Ceramics Symposiums were founded in
the United States in 1979 by the Institute for Ceramic
History headed by ceramic art historian Garth Clark.
The first symposium was held in Syracuse, New York in
conjunction with thea Everson Museum exhibition, A
Century of Ceramics in the United States: 1878 - 1978,
The 1981 symposium was held in New York City and the
third in 1983 in Kansas City, Missouri. It is believed
that a significant portion of the conference delegation
for 1985 will be from countries outside Canada.
The programme is directed towards the recognition of
ceramic artists, past, present and future, who have
challenged and changed the format of the vessel and the
figures. The presentations will have an international
focus. For registration applications, please contact:
Ann Mortimer or Margaret Melchiori-Malouf, The Fourth
International Ceramics Symposium, 878 Yonge Street,
