ABOUT THE STUDIO POTTER

Published twice a year, THE STUDIO POTTER has been the independent voice of ceramics since 1972. Based in first- person narrative and studio practice, the journal has fostered thoughtful writing

on such themes as the environment, criticism, tech- nology, ceramic history, and education. Athough SP has published scholarly articles, it is aimed at the curious general reader rather than an academic audience.

JOURNAL SPECIFICATIONS

Each issue of THE STUDIO POTTER is 96 pages, of which approximately 90 contain text and images pertaining to the theme. Typically there are 20–25 articles of varying lengths in each issue. The journal has always been characterized by a lively mix of written and visual content; the design of each issue is unique and reflects the theme.

TIMELINE

THE STUDIO POTTER is published in January and July. Upcoming themes are published in the journal and on the SP website at least six months in ad- vance. The guest editor will consult with editor Mary Bar- ringer on the winter/spring 2012 issue during the fall of 2011 to get a sense of the process and sequence of tasks, then will begin work on Volume 40, Number 2 in January 2012.

 

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must have at least five years’ post-education experience in the field. Candidates who are roughly the same “age” as THE STUDIO POTTER, in other words born between 1970 and 1974, are especially encour- aged to apply, but all serious proposals will be considered.
