Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Research of Iga ware provides a learning opportunity, which will inform the development of a new body of artwork. 1) A new body of work will be created and documented in visual images. The success is measured by the strength of the artwork and will be evaluated by informal critiques of two professional potters. 2) Research will be presented at a public lecture where evaluations will be conducted. 2: 140 Minnesota's will attend a lecture, workshop or sale of pottery. A count will be taken of those who attend the pottery sale, workshop and/or lecture. Participants will be given opportunity to respond to the artwork through a short survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Mark Lambert conducted research and created a new body of ceramic vases inspired by classical Iga forms. He furthered his artistic abilities to include Iga influenced wall vases. 2: 266 Minnesotans engaged with the artwork of Minnesota artist Mark Lambert.
