When she began training in ceramics in August 2013, it was with the specific goal of learning and experimenting in order to create her own prototypes and thus control the technical realization of her metal (and later bronze) sculptures. She was not interested in the medium of ceramics per se, but she knew that it was the door that would allow her to push forward her sculpture practice. In other words, ceramics was simply going to be a medium to attain other ends.<\/p><p>It was at the Greenwich House Pottery in New York City and under the supervision of its director, Adam Welch, that Ghada Amer began her training in ceramics. She spent two years in residency there (August 2013 to February 2015) and an additional six months one year later (2016-2017).<\/p><p>The period spent at the Greenwich House Pottery was extremely rich and immensely productive both for the development of her sculpture practice and for expanding her art in general.<\/p><p>For Ghada Amer, this was a time of boundless energy and of liberation from the constraints of the history of art (and the history of painting especially) in which she had been immersed for so long. Her lack of familiarity with the medium of ceramics turned out to be an asset. It gave her creative license to experiment and produce novel techniques.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column

porcelain clay, thus producing a sort of painted clay that could be rolled out, shaped, and applied to the piece as either an overlaid or an inlaid sculptural element.<\/p><p>Armed with these new skills that allowed her to apply painting to a new medium, and mostly unconcerned with the accepted conventions of ceramics, Ghada Amer produced a significant body of painted ceramic artworks not only
