Friday Sept 10 2004	The Uncommon Denominator is a ceramics exhibition featuring the work of a select group of former students of Professor Richard Hirsch. These professional artists represent over thirty years of teaching and mentoring in the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology and at the former Program in Artisanry at Boston University. This exhibition constitutes a matrix of cultural diversity and encompasses a wide spectrum of aesthetic expression. Highlighted are the artist's individual exploration within the formats of sculpture, the vessel, and utilitarian pottery. A catalog with full color images, which includes each artist's work, artist statement, and a short biography, will accompany the exhibition. Inauguration of the exhibition is scheduled for Friday, September 10th, 2004 at the Dyer Arts Center in the Lyndon Baines Johnson Building at 1 Lomb Memorial Drive on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus in Rochester, NY. 14623

Also, Randi Sherman recently wrote an article about the Transcultural Tile Exchange Project for "CeramicsTECHNICAL" Issue 17 in which I am quoted!
