[caption id="attachment_4109" align="aligncenter" width="384" caption="Julia Galloway"][/caption] This weekend I had the pleasure of going to Casper, Wyoming to see the Persistence in Clay: contemporary ceramics in Montana, at the Nicolaysin Museum.  Unfortunately I missed the panel discussion on Friday, because I had to teach, but I drove up for the demos on Saturday, the demos on Saturday with Julia Galloway, Alison Rientjes, David Smith and Stephen Braun. 

These pictures are from a new app that I have called "Hipster", it makes your pictures into postcards.  It automatically adds the location of where you are. 

I was delighted to catch up with with Julia Galloway on Saturday; we went to Alfred together, ooooh so long ago.  It’s been 20 plus years since Julia have seen each other.  As always it was great to sit down with old friends and hear what they have been doing.  I’m not surprised at Julia’s success; she was the hardest working person I’ve ever met.  She has really dedicated her life to ceramics.  The ceramics world is lucky to have her in it.  Julia’s work is absolutely stunning!  If you’re not familiar with her I recommend that you make the jump to her website and marvel at her prolific and amazing work. www.juliagalloway.com .

Take a quick tour of some of my favorites from the show.  I had so many favs I can't post them all.

  Several days ago, well it’s probably more like a few weeks ago now; the wonderful people of Ceramics Now sent me pictures from the reception of Ceramics Now Exhibition.  Although, I don’t know a soul in the photographs it was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves at the reception.  It looks like they had a great turnout.  I wish I could have been there.  I am very proud of Vasi Hirdo and his very ambitious staff getting the first edition of Ceramics Now off the ground.  Without further ado here are some of the pictures from the reception of the first Ceramics Now Exhibition.  Plus I got my hard copy of the Ceramics Now magazine the mail the other day.  I was very excited to see the magazine in print and hold it.  I was thrilled to see it as a digital magazine, but there is something to seeing it on paper.  Maybe my age is showing and I haven’t really caught up to the digital age.  Plus I love the stamps they used!!! I started a Pinterest account!  So if you are so inclined please follow me and I'll follow you.  I just figuring out Pinterest, so I hope I get it.

On December 3-4^th, Jonathan Kaplan will instruct a two-day workshop on mold-making, in the Plinth Gallery Studio.  Please see the attached flyer.   Cost is $150/person for both days which includes all materials, and lunch.   Please contact the Gallery if you are interested in attending this workshop, and feel free to forward to anyone you  know who may be interested.  This will be our last workshop for 2011, and coincides with our exhibition of Jonathan’s own work in the Gallery.

I was very excited to hear that Ceramics Monthly decided to put my salt and pepper shakers in their Exposure section of this month’s magazine.  I’m in there with Kari Radasch  and Victoria Christen for the show Table Manners: Functional Pottery for the Table, a Feast for your eyes which is now at Lark and Key Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Thank you so much Erin Pfeifer!

I’m so late with this post.  I feel awful.  I just haven’t posted about the show Table Manners @ Lark and Key Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Months ago Jennifer Mecca asked me if I was interested in being in a show with her and her Mud Mama friends, and I answered, “Hell Yes!”  Well, the show went up October 5, and will end on November 26.  Jennifer Mecca and Amy Sanders curated the show and they did a fantastic job!!  I wish I could have made it to the reception!  But Wyoming isn’t that close to North Carolina, no matter how many times I look at the map!  I was blown away by the assembly of artists Jennifer and Amy got for the show, I feel like the red headed step child of the show.  I am in great company!  Linda Christianson, Victoria Christen,  Amy Evans, Ursala Hargens, Allison McGowan, Jennifer Mecca, Gillian Parke, Kari Radasch, Amy Sanders, Paula Smith, and Liz Zlot Summerfield.  And the paintings are by Diane Hoeptner, Duy Huynh and Wanda Steppe. The pictures that Lark and Key posted on their Flickr site the show looks terrific.  Please click on the link and enjoy the show!

If you are in the Denver area please come by and see my work in Hand Lettered at Abecedarian Gallery. 

November 4 – December 17, 2011

Opening Reception November 4, 6-8pm

910 Santa Fe, #101, Denver, CO  80204

 Abecedarian Gallery is a contemporary book arts gallery in Denver, Colorado. Alicia Bailey the owner asked me to participate in the Hand Lettered show after she saw my work at Plinth Gallery, Jonathan Kaplan being the amazing guy that he is said “No Problem.” So for the month of November my work is in two galleries in Denver. I’m thrilled to be in the show; I’ve always love book arts and have dabbled here and there in making books. But I’ve never felt they have been successful. I can’t wait to see the show!!

Here is the press release for the show and some links to some of the artists in Hand Lettered! In this final show of the year, Abecedarian Gallery presents Hand Lettered, a group exhibition featuring artists whose works include hand lettered elements as either primary content or concept. The exhibition was curated by gallery director Alicia Bailey and features work by Heidi Zednik, Jan Owen, Justin Quinn and Mamiko Ikeda alongside books and sculptures by seventeen other artists from throughout the United States, Germany and Argentina. Heidi Zednik is represented by Abecedarian Gallery and has been included in several previous exhibits. Here exhibited are several works created particularly for this exhibition. A dual citizen Austrian/American Zednik uses both painting and original texts in her works on paper, her studio work a recognition that art can be a catalyst for beauty, for peace and for being still.  Maine artist Jan Owen has also been included in previous exhibitions at Abecedarian. Captivated by the gestures found in handwritten letters, she often works with texts written by others. More than marks made on specific surfaces, Owen’s work integrates surface with mark, which she does by working on translucent materials that are layered, or by weaving materials back into the original surface. New to Abecedarian is Justin Quinn, a printmaker currently living in St. Cloud, MN, displaying both books and prints from his Moby Dick series. Quinn has altered Melville’s epic novel by changing all letters to the letter E, thus abstracting the text away from something that is read into something that is seen. Both a bound copy of the original graphite drawings, and a photocopy version installed on the wall will be on view, alongside an intaglio print. Also new to the gallery is Mamiko Ikeda. Born in Tokyo, Mamiko has lived in Colorado since 1995. She learned Japanese calligraphy from her mother, master calligrapher Shotei Miura. Here are exhibited several monotypes with calligraphy, works created as a form of meditation, the brush movements reflecting her moods, feelings and thoughts and hand painted boxes, each containing hand-lettered and printed manga scrolls. Hand Lettered also includes artists’ books by the following artists: Carol Erickson (Albuquerque, New Mexico) - Emily’s Trunk, a piece inspired by the writings of Emily Dickinson, Carol Es - All Done But None, an edition book with each copy hand written with original watercolors and prints. Cheryl Bailey/Deborah Henson (Denver/Longmont, Colorado) – A Manual for Future Departures, a collaborative multiple page scroll designed to hang on the wall mimicking a check list. Danielle Feliciano (St Louis Park, Minnesota) Luminous a digitally printed abecedary of illuminated letters Elizabeth McKee (Pasadena, Maryland) let it go a book work based on an e. e. cummings text of the same name Ellen Wiener (Southold, New York) Even the Rain, a poem by Agha Shahid Ali in a lavishly painted and printed accordion book Friedrich Kerksieck (Memphis, Tennessee) Abandoned Tales a letterpress book of text and illustrations reproduced via photopolymer plates and utilizing both hand drawn and digitally typeset text. Jennifer Hines (Chicago, Illinois) Kneel, a mixed media accordion with a body relief print and handwriting Kristen Catlett - Booneville, Arkansas, Alphabook: A Celebration of Letters, a book letterpress printed from hand drawn linocuts. Marí Emily Bohley (Dresden, Germany) Hoar Frost, Hanging in Time, accordion books an elegant use of natural materials along with The Book of Silence a codex incorporating hand-written translations of various words. Marina Soria (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Winter and Autumn, two puzzle books that allow viewer re-arrangement of the pages Stephen Sidelinger  - (Venice, Florida) Baudelaire Prose Poems Book 1&2 - two lavishly illustrated books with hand calligraphy and illuminations, each with 26 poems. Sun Young Kang - (Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania) The Way To Be Empty 2 is composed of 108 small boxes set within 5 larger boxes. Each small box has a character hand burned into the cover with incense. Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord (Newburyport, Massachusetts) Words for the Journey, a fan book with one one line quotations from various well known authors. Turner Hilliker (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Velvet Vacuums and Epic Moments of Personal Failure are both digital reprints of hand lettered works. As well as works by by E. Brooke Lanier (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Veiled Threat, Sincerely and Caveat modestly scaled wall works with troubling messages Connie Norman (Cheyenne, Wyoming) a selection of ceramic vessels incorporating repeating messages alongside stenciled glazed designs.

 

A couple of weekends ago I took a Kristen Kieffer workshop at Plinth Gallery Zelnorm FOR SALE, .  It was a two day workshop where she shared many of her amazing techniques.  She’s the queen of elegant stamping, beautiful slip trailing and other surface decorations. I was really glad to be able to sit and listen as she demystified her methods.  Some of the things she covered were making your own stamps, Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee. Portland, Oregon, Zelnorm withdrawal, and altering by using stamps, darting, Zelnorm without a prescription, Chicago, Illinois. Houston, Texas, and slip trailing.

I love how Jonathan’s cat Flux decides to partake in the workshop as well! 

I’m so glad that Jonathan Kaplan the owner of Plinth has been offering these workshops.  I no longer can take a week or two week workshop, Zelnorm 200mg, Zelnorm 125mg, I just don’t’ want to leave my family for that long, but these short bursts of creativity are terrific.

Advair FOR SALE, [gallery link="file"]

Recently I went to Casper College for Matt Kelleher and Shoko Teruyama’s workshop.  It was great to see how well they worked together, with just a look and sometimes a nod; they knew when the other one was finished talking and the other could go and do a demo.  It was interesting to learn that they work all day long in the studio next to each other.  And they are starting to collaborate on projects.  I loved Matt’s gentle and philosophical ways, his pots is just like him calm and tender and steeped in history.  I have been a big fan of Shoko’s work for awhile, I really appreciated being able to see her make in the flesh.  Well without further ado here are some pictures of the fabulous workshop!  If you are able to take a workshop from these guys I highly recommend it!.

Of course a couple of pots followed my home!  I’ll have to resume my ABC’s pottery and add them to my collection, Advair over the counter. Advair for sale. Jacksonville, Florida, Columbus, Ohio.
