The residency hosted a group of five nationally and internationally known artists with an expertise in ceramics for a 3-week residency at MICA; with focused time working with the collegeÕs diverse array of digital fabrication technologies as well as state of the art kilns. This residency was devoted to collaborative and individual research in the development of new bodies of innovative art works exploring the creative potential of the intersections between ceramics and the new technologies of digital fabrication. Followed by a symposium hosted at MICA in fall of 2012, where our time and experience together was shared with the public, the CRCNT residency has spurned new works for the artists involved, but also new thinking to the future of our field, our role as teachers, and new ideas and directions.
