Developing a critical awareness in your work

Since 1984 with a conference on "Criticism and Clay: past practices and future models," held at the Sun Valley Center for Arts and Humanities, Sun Valley, Idaho, and reported in Ceramics Monthly and American Ceramics Magazine, Jim has been interested in and helped develop effective ways to critique ceramics and other arts.  He has conducted numerous workshops that deal with developing constructive ways to evaluate work at both the student and professional level.  Always participatory and full of lively discussion, these workshops have been very successful in giving the student and the professional needed tools for critical evaluation and growth.

These are typically three-day workshops with a formal lecture and slides followed by discussion with participants, critique of actual work, and ending with sessions to investigate how critical frameworks can be developed  in the particular situation of each participant.
