Ceramics, Art, and Art History in Hungary
Kalocsa Cathedral, Liszt played organ here (2)

This program will offer the student majoring in ceramics as well as the student majoring in art in other studio disciplines (painting, sculpture, printmaking etc.) an opportunity to work in the premier European ceramics studio while earning credit in course work that will apply to their satisfactory academic progress to a BA, BFA, or MFA degree. Because the program is in Hungary, the student of ceramics will have a unique opportunity to learn about Herend porcelain, the Royal porcelain works of the Austo-Hungarian Empire founded in 1826.  More advanced students will be able to work with the porcelain clay the Herend works uses.  Students will experience having their work fired in a wood-fired kiln as well as gas and electric.

Housing

Housing is on site. There are private well-furnished rooms with bathrooms down the hall. Meal arrangements are up to each student who is responsible for preparing their own food.  The town’s central market is a short 4 block walk away. There is a convenience market/deli a 2 block walk away. There are two new modern euro kitchens that are shared with other residents of the ICS. Each person gets an under-counter refrigerator with a cabinet/pantry above. The kitchens have multiple range tops in a center island. There are three sinks in counter tops in a horseshoe shape along the walls surrounding the center island. Dining tables and chairs are either in the kitchen space or the room next door. Although each individual is responsible for their own meals, usually those in attendance work out a rotation for cooking so that during the residency one or two cook for all the rest 3 or 4 times instead of everyday for one’s self.  Everybody pitches in to clean up.
