Several MSU Ceramics students are attending a wood-firing workshop at College of the Ozarks on April 22-23. The students will be able to fire their work in the kiln and assist with the firing.

In alumni news, Logan Williams (BFA Ceramics 2014) works as a studio artist at the Pottery Shop at Silver Dollar City, Branson, MO, while Craig Hartenberger (BFA Ceramics 2013) exhibited a piece in the 2015 NCECA National Juried Show at RISD’s Brown Gallery in Providence, Rhode Island. Craig also continues to work as a primary artist constructing site-specific fire sculptures for Danish artist Nina Hole.
