(From Southern News Service)The ceramics program at Missouri Southern State University will host the 2021 Holiday Student Pottery Sale from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 6-7, in the main lobby of Spiva Library.
The sale will feature hundreds of hand-crafted, microwave- and dishwasher-safe pottery as well as sculptural objects.
“This exhibition and sale is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn and develop skills needed to make a living as an artist,” said Frank Pishkur, professor of art and chair of the Art and Design Department.
“How to structure a sale, how to price work, how to set up, develop and present an exhibit are all necessary skills that take time and practice to master.
“At the same time, the sale is a good opportunity for students to recoup some of the material costs they expended during the semester creating the work as well as even help pay for the cost of the class. In essence, every piece of artwork someone purchases is a small scholarship to that student.”
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale will also go toward the purchase of equipment for the ceramics program.
The sale is open to the public; visitors to campus are expected to wear a mask/face covering and observe social distancing.
