This past summer while attending school in Italy as part of Boston University's Master's in Art Education Degree Program, we had a guest teacher, Alice Gori. She is a brilliant ceramist who is often asked by the Italian government and churches, etc. to restore the ages old ceramics inside of important buildings. We had some fun going to her studio, having her come to our studio, and we all enjoyed making a few ceramics pieces under her supervision. This really got me interested in learning more about ceramics and I'm thinking that maybe I'll find a local college course to attend. Never too old to learn!
Here is some of Alice (pronounced Aleeshay) Gori's work:
