DESCRIPTION:Ben Ryterband\, Faculty in Ceramics will be retiring after 50 y
 ears at the end of this semester.  The FA3D Department / Ceramics is hosti
 ng a lunch time drop in event for people to stop by and say goodbye to Ben
 .  All are welcome.\n\nBen Ryterband received his BA from Antioch College.

 \n \n\nStatement:\n\nGeometry and wonder provide motive and motif: spirals
 \, fractals\, and flux.  Fond of Staffordshire slipware and once a devoted
  Japanese apprentice\, I now choreograph Momoyama with Postmodern.  As if 
 a Shino tea bowl or feathered vessel shared the stage with a Lucas Samaras
  “Reconstruction.”  Respecting both the utilitarian and sculptural\, w
 hat I midwife\, whether serving a tour as tableware or otherwise\, is inte
 nded to serve as a cairn.
