Ken Ferguson Teaching Collection Room Unveiled!
On Saturday, March 1, 2008, we celebrated the grand opening of the brand-new Ken Ferguson Teaching Collection Room at KCAI. After the “ribbon-cutting” ceremony (no real ribbon or over-sized scissors!) and remarks by school president, Kathleen Collins, Ceramics Professor and Chair, Cary Esser, and Ken’s wife, Gertrude, we moved on to lunch at the Kemper Museum’s Cafe Sebastian. Lucky for me, assigned seating (always scary) landed me right next to Victor Babu, my pottery hero, and we shared two entrees like an old married couple. What a blast! Victor is so charismatic and engaging, I didn’t even notice that most everyone behind me had finished lunch and left - while Victor and I were yakking it up!
