In Defense of Ceramic Art

Why is Ceramics less valued than other art forms? Is it too useful to be art? Devalued as a craft or because it is made of dirt? Shouldn’t your art be valued on its own merits and not the medium you are using to express yourself?

I am attracted to the Bastard Arts. I enjoy High Brow Arts too, especially paintings and literature, but Bastard Arts have a unique unpretentious appeal for me.

You might never have heard of the Bastard Arts because that is my personal nickname for the type of Arts I enjoy that have hybrid origins and are usually looked down on by the tenants of the Well-Born Arts. It’s not “pure”. In a world where diversity is finally getting its due, the Art World is like Voldemort and his Death Eaters who want their art to be pure blood and can’t adapt to a changing world.
