A totem of the teacher, a bisqueware is the porous, unglazed result of wet clay demos completed, then fired once in ceramics educational settings. These bisque works—an unglazed record of a visiting artist's creative process—are often referenced year after year by professors and students.
In a special exhibition, the LSU Museum of Art presents over two hundred bisque works, which continue to provide a valued resource for LSU School of Art's top-ten ranked ceramics program. Displayed to imitate the "boneyard'—a storage method for bisque works in studio spaces, which showcases a variety of techniques, improvisation, and skill—the exhibition will feature rotating displays against a demonstration space to be activated by MFA students, local artists, and visiting artists. lsumoa.org.
