Just published an article with the title, ‘Advocating for Schools to Provide Effective HIV and Sexuality Education: A Case Study in How Social Service Organizations Working in Coalition Can (and Should) Affect Sustained Policy Change‘ in the academic journal Health Promotion & Practice. As a lead author, my bio awkwardly states, ‘Jeremy Ogusky, MPH, is a professional potter, public health practitioner and advocate in Somerville, Massachusetts.’ I struggle with my dual passions for clay and social change and as of yet have had little luck attempting to intertwine the two.
I didn’t sell many bacon platters or mini-steins at Saturday’s Bacon & Beer Fest, but I did eat an interesting bacon bourbon brownie sundae, a wonderful bacon banh mi, and delicious bacon beignet w/ accompanying honeymustard ale…
Great article published in April’s Somerville News w/ a huge photo of my mugs. According to the article, ‘Jerry Ogunsky… decided to showcase his art by turning his home into a gallery, where visitors can select what they like from the kitchen table or a shelf.’ The ‘Jerry’ the article refers to is me & the gallery will be Somerville Open Studios on May 1 & 2. Come visit!
I was interviewed last week on Somerville Art Matters — a television show about local art on Somerville Community Access Television — to chat about May 1 & 2 Somerville Open Studios which I will participate in. Check it out & scroll ahead to minute 13 to see my interview.
If you happen to stroll by the CVS in Davis Square, Somerville, check out the teapot in the window. It will be there through April and the first weekend in May for Somerville Open Studios.
Immanuel Kant once stated that, ‘The hand is the window on to the mind.’
I believe in fact that the hands & mind are connected and as Richard Sennett writes in ‘The Craftsman,’ that the work of the hand can inform the work of the mind.
My friend Evgenia — after a long look at my hands recently — told me that they exhibit a certain mastervo, a Russian word meaning, ‘mastery of a craft.’
