Stop by Ceramics School for ‘Afternoon Tea in the Kiln Garden’ this Saturday, October 3rd from 2-5pm We’ll enjoy a verity of lovely teas with idiosyncratic vessels, mill about the kiln garden and studio, talk nerdy ceramics things, and appreciate a beautiful fall afternoon. 🙂
Henry James Haver Crissman earned a BFA in Craft from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI in 2012, and a MFA in Ceramics at Alfred University in Alfred, NY in 2015. He and Virginia Torrence co-founded and co-direct Ceramics School LLC, a ceramic-centric community art school and artist residency, where they live and make art in Hamtramck, MI. His multi-faceted community-based art practice is rooted in clay – building on its expressive, vernacular, and communal capacities – and manifested as objects, installations, kiln making and firing, video and performance work, community projects, curation, teaching, facilitation and space making. He has taught as an adjunct professor at the College for Creative Studies, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Eastern Michigan University, Wayne State University among others, and since 2023 has co-taught the wood fired ceramics courses with Virginia Torrence at Oxbow School of Art.
