Respected Ceramic Artist to Speak at UofL

Tony Hepburn, a sculptural potter and artist in residence and ceramics department head at Cranbrook Academy of Art will be speaking this Saturday February 9, 2008 at the University of Louisville. The title of the free lecture is more than mouthful:  "Parafunctionality: The Fusion of Art, Design and Architecture" but the based on the information about the artist I imagine the lecture would be quite interesting.

"The Michigan multimedia artist works in sculpture, ceramics, drawing and digital photography."

"His many awards include a Friends of Contemporary Ceramics' lifetime achievement award, National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and two New York Council of the Arts fellowships.

Hepburn's work is in private collections worldwide and in public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., and the International Ceramics Museum in Faenza, Italy."
