MFA Thesis Exhibition: Hamish Jackson & Andrew McAllister

Arts/Entertainment

Reception on April 6 from 5-7PM

Hamish Jackson:
Tea Time with the Devil began with the hypothesis that I could create a diverse palette of glazes from one local material. I chose to base my experiments on a granite from Devil’s Playground in western Utah. I collected its bones, hauled them back to USU and crushed them into powder. Each glaze contains at least 50% of the Devil’s granite.This palette resulted from much trial and error — mostly error. Between 2020 and 2023, I ran thousands of glaze tests to formulate and hone these surfaces.

Why this place and material?
The wild landscape of Devil’s Playground captured my imagination and made me want to keep returning. I am truly grateful to this landscape and its rocks. The granite contains a high percentage of silica, as well as some feldspar and mica. Once powdered, it melts into a celadon glaze without adulteration. This was a good starting point: a blank (albeit grey) canvas for experiments.

Why tea wares?
As an Englishman and a walking stereotype, I love tea. Tea brings people together. By sharing tea, we make time to stop, reflect and connect. I am fascinated by the world’s diverse tea traditions and their accompanying ceramic tools. Tea Time with the Devil is inspired by the distinct tea traditions of England, Japan, China, and the American South.

Signature Speaker

Cultural

Join us for our bi-annual signature speaker event where the Latinx Cultural Center invites an outstanding Latinx leader in the community to network with students and speak on their professional and personal experience. This year, Yudi Lewis, who was recently appointed as the director of the Office of Hispanic-Serving Institution Initiatives at Weber State University, will speak. With a solid track record of Latino recruitment and retention, Lewis aims to position Hispanic and Latino students strategically, helping them transition from high school to college, and subsequently into their desired fields. This event will be split into a networking session earlier in the day in the LCC, and a formal gathering where Yudi will provide a presentation.
