Susan Nurse WaART Moderator Session ARLIS/NA Conference Pittsburgh 2000 "Women Leaders in the Art Pottery Industry: Ohio and Beyond" Sponsored by Women & Arts Round Table Moderator: Susan Nurse: Visual Resource Coordinator, Memorial Art Gallery Rochester, NY Co-Sponsor Decorative Arts Round Table Each annual conference brings with it unique opportunities to focus attention on the local region in which the conference takes place. The Pittsburgh/ Ohio Chapter region is rich in artistic topics. In keeping with the Conference theme of "Links to the Past, Bridges to the Future", the Women & the Arts Roundtable will present a session entitled "Women Leaders in the Art Pottery Industry: Ohio and Beyond" The session will focus attention on the often overlooked leadership contributions of women in the Art Pottery field. Historically, the position that women in the art pottery field occupied were simply china painters, or as the most, decorators. The design, manufacture, and certainly the organization and ownership of the potteries was always assumed to be male. This is far from the case, as the speakers in the session will demonstrate. It is also important to demonstrate that the beginnings of women's leadership in the Art Pottery industry began in the Arts & Crafts Movement of the 1870s but extended well into the 20th century. This roll of leadership also extended into the western states, as the country expanded its boundaries.
