University City Ceramics Session #1

via Zoom

Even today, Edwin Gardner Lewis’s ability to pull off a venture as improbable as University City and bring together Taxile Doat, Adelaide Robineau, and Frederick Hurten Rhead into a single school engenders a certain amount of grudging respect from his most ardent critics. A wildly unsympathetic protagonist ...

University City Ceramics Session #2

via Zoom

At University City a two-tier system was in place from day one which dictated the amount of time you were able to dedicate to your own work, versus that which was required for teaching. Emile Diffloth, Eugene Labarrière, and Kathryn Cherry were among the staff that devoted their time almost exclusively to teaching ...

University City Ceramics Session #3

via Zoom

Preternaturally talented and–if his surviving correspondence is any indication–amongst the most decent people one could hope to meet, Frederick Hurten Rhead was an important part of the University City program. Surprisingly (with the benefit of hindsight) he lacked the star power of the ...

University City Ceramics Session #4

via Zoom

In hindsight, so rapid was her transformation it can appear as though Adelaide Robineau willed herself into a successful ceramist. Initially a China painter, then a publisher, and finally an artist in porcelain, Robineaus rapid rise to prominence was a testament to the strength ...
18 April 2026

University City Ceramics Session #5

via Zoom

Taxile Doat was a force. Remarkably talented as a draftsman and equally comfortable with the chemistry and experimentation required for ceramic innovation, he rose quickly through the ranks to become the premiere artist at Sevres. Along the way he gained admirers in France ...
25 April 2026

University City Ceramics Session #6

via Zoom

From his arrival in St. Louis in 1909 to his departure in 1914, Doat remained enthusiastic about the prospect of American ceramics, even as Lewis’s fortunes faltered and the Art Academy he worked so hard to bring to fruition crumbled around him. This session will explore the two ...
