Abstract

I am a 'ceramist'. This is a linguistic tag used to name a particular manner of 'knowing' and 'making', traditionally related to craftsmanship, (or arts and crafts), ceramic design, and also an agent in art production today. During the 70s and 80s, the inclusion of this artform generated an anti-hierarchical approach to the genres, discourses and materials. The paradigmatical changes that occured during this time period have been broadly accepted as postmodern effects, but we can also view them in relation to the inputs of feminist art. In this essay, we unveil and interpret existing relations between ceramics and feminist practices. A 'hand-made tale', which searches for the genealogy of a feminist ceramic art practice.
