Now available for download! “The Reader (Volume 1)”, 626 pages, PDF, 250 MB. 📕 Link in bio

The Reader (Volume 1) is a furtive collection of beloved teaching texts and the result of an invitation to thirty-three contributors (twenty-seven artist/educators and six critical art theorist/educators) to share with me a reading or text that they consider significant to their teaching and practice. Gathered in conjunction with the 2025-2026 exhibition “Stephanie Syjuco: Present Tense (Roll Call)” at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), the submissions were printed on letter-sized paper and pinned up directly onto the oversized wall installation for the duration of the ten month exhibition. Fluttering in the breeze, the printed pages curl, rustle, and add a sense of aliveness to the work, ultimately gathering together a chorus of voices reflecting larger bodies of knowledge. As I share in the exhibition text it is “a love letter to teaching and learning during fraught times.”

As educators we regularly read and collect books and PDFs — often downloaded from the internet as furtively uploaded files, or generously shared by like-minded colleagues. We annotate into the pages, scribble, photocopy, scan, duplicate, print, and create lo-res variations of the originals for our own personal and teaching purposes. We excerpt the content, turning them into lesson plans shared with students, thus creating a cyclical distribution of inquiry and learning. We also write, and in a few cases the submissions are original self-authored texts. *The Reader* is an homage to the myriad forms of hidden work: the artist/educator as community and public intellectual, a creative synthesizer of ideas in connection with others.

Full list of contributors in slides 🔥. “Present Tense (Roll Call)” is still on view at @bampfa until June 28, 2026! Stay tuned for future volumes to amplify ideas and knowledge in a time of silencing and disinvestment in education🔥

Ugh, can’t tag more than 20 people, will add in comments soon…

💻SESSION II: DIGITAL CLAY 2.0 🤖 June 15-26. 2026

How can ceramicists move between ancient and novel technologies? The second residency of its kind at Watershed, Digital Clay 2.0, welcomes digital fabrication into the studio while embracing the spontaneity inherent in the ceramics process. Structured around mini-tutorials and communal projects, residents will work to generate, gather, and document new applications of technologically-informed production, resulting in a dynamic open-source database with images, links, recipes, and tutorials.

Organized by @tashalewisartist.
With invited artists @j_a_c_k_i_e_b_r_o_w_n, @wmacd.art , @jennifermasleyclay, @mkmra2 , @nik.ceramics, & @stacy_jo_scott.

Apply by February 1, 2026. Click the link in our bio for the application and more information.

5 years ago in the spring of 2020, we welcomed our first Resident Artist, the extraordinary and beloved Jeffry Mitchell. It was the beginning of Township10, a community of artists coming together around the table & in the studios in this mountain cove. It has been a whirlwind and we are so grateful to all of the artists who have come and spent time here.

We have hosted over 80 artists now. One of the things I’m proud of is that our values statement has never changed. It still feels true and direct and encompasses the purpose behind this place— see link in BIO.

We will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary on May 17th from 12-4 pm. Come out if you can. @luismartinezcreative will be on-site cooking delicious bites in the new cobb oven. Visit our studios and support the current Resident Artists who have come all the way from Australia @jadeshanley @kasperceramics @yehceramics @danielle.vibert

I will be sharing more stories about the early days, some before/afters, and just reflecting on this experience. I would recommend doing something for the community you care about to anyone. And am always happy to share my thoughts/learning on how to set up a residency if you have a private space to activate and share.

We’re extending our hours this weekend; the gallery will be open Friday and Saturday from 12 - 5pm.

It’s going to be a busy art weekend in Chicago, but we hope you will carve out time to come by the gallery to see Mike Bray’s sculpture and wall pieces in ‘The Door Opens the Other Way’ and Stacy Jo Scott’s recent ceramic works in ‘Writ in Water.’

We’re continuing to immerse ourselves in the complex and beautiful work featured in ‘Writ in Water,’ Stacy Jo Scott’s solo show at @devening_projects.

Stacy Jo describes her medium as terra sigillata, a term with at least three distinct meanings: first, as a reference to a type of medicinal earth used in medieval times; second, in archaeology, as a general term for fine red ancient Roman pottery with glossy surface slips made in specific regions of the Roman Empire; and third, more recently, as a contemporary studio pottery technique supposedly inspired by that ancient tradition.

Though often roughly translated as “sealed earth,” terra sigillata actually means “clay bearing little images” (from Latin sigilla), not “clay with a sealed (impervious) surface.” The archaeological term applies to both plain-surfaced pots and those decorated with figures in relief—not because of the surface or decoration, but because of the maker’s stamp impressed in the bottom of the vessel (Wikipedia).

Here is ‘Grid 1,’ 2025, ceramic, terra sigillata, 8 x 7 x 1 inches.

The gallery is open from 12–5 today—stop by and say hi!
