About This Event

The Alfred Ceramic Art Museum presents the 20th Perkins Lecture of Ceramic History.

This year’s speaker is Margaret Carney, who will present a lecture on the legacy of Charles Fergus Binns titled “Binns@Alfred: n Degrees of Separation.” The lecture is given in support of our current exhibition “History: A Legacy in Motion - Alfred Ceramic Art 1900 - 2025.” This exhibition presents the extraordinarily diverse practices of artists who held (or continue to hold) full time teaching positions at the New York State College of Ceramics School of Art and Design since its creation by Binns in 1900.
