"I had the fortunate opportunity to teach in the Art Department at Shippensburg University for 33 years retiring in 2003. My particular area of interest in teaching experiences over those years in the ceramic classroom was seeing students many of them never before working with clay, getting 'turned on'. Beyond the undergraduate students there were some faculty, graduate students, and other University associates that poked their heads in the ceramic room door and got the 'bug'.

Some undergradute students went on for advanced degrees in ceramic arts. Other took the romantic direction buying or building their kilns, buying wheels and learing the chemistry of glazing and firing on their own.

This exhibition is a tribute to those select group of students and other associates who presevered with the media and grew in their own individual directions after leaving Room 125 Huber Arts Center.

A special thank you to Jim Zullinger, SHAPE board member and fellow ceramist for incubating the idea of this exhibit and bring it to fruition."

Bill Hynes, Professor Emeritus Shippensburg University
