Claymakers Gallery
in Durham, NC, Offers Exhibits of Embellish Vessels
Claymakers Gallery of Fine Handmade Pottery in Durham, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Drawn to Clay: Vessels Emblazoned, featuring works by 20 of NC's best ceramic artists and potters who employ imagery to embellish their ceramic vessels, on view through Oct. 10, 2009.
Artists included in the exhibition are: Jennifer Stas, Naomi Dalglish, Michael Hunt, Blaine Avery, Bruce Gholson, Samantha Heneke, Ronan Peterson, Jennifer Mecca, Ron Philbeck, Amy Sanders, Matt Kelleher, Shoko Teruyama, Susan Feagin, Corinne Fox, Kelly O'Briant, Carol Gentithes, Fred Johnston, Laura Korch, Michael Kline, and Gillian Parke.
Each potter and ceramic artist in this show is known for their unique approach for enlivening the surfaces of their ceramic vessels with imagery. From the quick energetic finger wipes evoking grasses blowing in the wind of Michael Hunt and Naomi Dalglish to the carefully considered and constructed kitsch decal images of Gillian Parke, this show promises to be a feast for the eyes and an event not to be missed. Techniques and content vary from artist to artist, but quality, creativity, and invigoration tie these 20 ceramicists together in this special exhibition.
Claymakers Gallery offers the public functional and sculptural works at reasonable prices. Represented Artists Include: Gillian Parke, Marsha Owen, Tim Turner, Deb Harris, Susan Filley, Ronan Peterson, Doug Dotson, Barbara McKenzie, plus many others.
