CERAMICS The word Ceramics is derived from the Greek word “Keramos” meaning “burned stuff” and includes everything made from fusible clay and hardened by heat—such as pottery, porcelain and glass. The art of Ceramics is the oldest of the arts and furnishes our most ancient historic record —being the outgrowth of a necessity for receptacles for food, drink, and cooking. The particular phase of this art in which the Fawcett School is interested is the turning and building of pottery forms and overglaze decoration. The study of design and the application of art principles to the production of such objects of everyday use is invaluable to the art student. Our greatest inspiration is derived from the study of Museum collections especially the Persian and Chinese potteries. Our ideal is to create and decorate forms beautiful in proportion, line, design and color, which express individuality of thought. Such study we feel will be of especial value in the State of New Jersey, the home of the pottery industry. Maud Mason, Instructor. Excerpts from a communication to Newark Evening News in March, 1927, by JOHN COTTON DANA “For more than a quarter of a century your one public school of drawing and design, the one school that has served to search out those talents of our young people that, being caught and trained, do much to make more attractive and more easily marketed the products of our hundreds of shops and factories, has been housed in narrow and unpleasing quarters, in every way inadequate. These facts, as any care- ful observer will admit, have checked the school’s development and have prevented it from gaining that attention and approval of the general public which were justly its due, even as long ago as when Carl F. Rehmann gave to it, without reward, his time, energy and talent. At least it has promise of a home that shall present to Newark the work it has long done and is now doing as that work deserves to be presented. “A city, like an individual, grows in grace by virtue of its manner of clothing, adorning and conducting itself, not by virtue of its wealth. Newark is over- shadowed by its neighbor, the world’s greatest and richest city. So much is it shadowed by the overmastering aggregation next door that it thinks largely in terms of New York and not in terms of Newark. It long had the habit of asking itself, “Why try to make here on the Passaic a real city, a place with a soul, a friendly spot in which each citizen can take pleasure and of which it may be justly proud?” “No city in the country can profit more than can Newark from that quiet, indefinable and subtle growth of consciousness of city betterment that may be called “growth in grace.’ ”
