Work in Progress

IMG_1540

I couldn’t resist snapping this shot of the late afternoon sun drying some mugs. The backlit grass glowing with translucence. The next step for these will be brushing them with terra sigillata and bisque firing before they are glazed and fired again. Other pots in various stages of progress are lunch plates, pasta bowls, oil bottles, and an assortment of serving dishes.

They should be cooled and out of the kiln by late next week and en route to Mystic, CT and Saluda, NC. Heartwood Gallery in Saluda and Whyervernot in Mystic will have new groupings of my work on display by the beginning of July.

If you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, a dozen mugs just arrived at Iota in Dallas. Stop by to take a look and see how they feel.

The Northern Clay Center is putting up a preview of the American Pottery Festival show that happens in September. The APF Preview opens May 5th and runs through the 31st. To quote the NCC:

As always, an outstanding roster of potters will be featured, including Minnesota’s own Warren MacKenzie. Festival-goers will enjoy a rich variety of work—some by established potters who have achieved a high level of excellence in the ceramic arts, and some exciting, new work by emerging artists. Participating potters include Chuck Aydlett (MN), Wayne Branum (WI), Sam Chung (AZ), Naomi Cleary (PA), Steven Colby (CO), Josh DeWeese (MT), Paul Eshelman (IL), Marty Fielding (VT), Marlene Jack (VA), Julie Johnson (NY), Gail Kendall (NE), Forrest Lesch-Middleton (CA), Warren MacKenzie (MN), Matthew Metz (NY), Sequoia Miller (WA), Joseph Pintz (OH), Kari Radasch (ME), Davie Reneau (KY), Steven C. Rolf (WI), Hide Sadohara (NY), Albion Stafford (NY), Shoko Teruyama (NC), and Betsy Williams (NM).
