New Pots in the Webstore

Since the chocolate fiesta last weekend, I’ve been shooting photos of pots from every angle, cropping and resizing them, and posting them on my etsy page. Here is a slide show  preview of the brand new pottery available at martyfielding.etsy.com.

American Pottery Festival Sept. 10 -12

The American Pottery Festival opens tonight in Minneapolis. It is organized and hosted by the Northern Clay Center. This year is the center’s 20th anniversary and they have invited all of the potters who have participated in the previous festivals to send 10-20 pots each. To see the full list of potters involved and the schedule of demonstrations and tours, click the link above. I wish I could be there to hang out, shmooz, and visually absorb all of the great pots that will be assembled.  If you can make it, I’ll live vicariously through you.

These are a few of the pieces I sent.

Containment – Live on the Web 4/1 @ 10am

Containment…A Group Exhibition of Ceramic Boxes

opens Thursday April 1 @ 10 at Crimson Laurel Gallery in Bakersville, NC.

Click here to see the show online.

David Trophia has been leaking images of some of the boxes on the gallery’s Facebook page as well as several video teasers. From  the looks of the what I’ve seen so far, it will be a great show. Thanks to the gallery for using my box on the invitation and in one of the video spots. The box pictured above is one of the two in the show.

Boxes have been one of my favorite forms to make and collect since Jane Shellenbarger  hipped me to box making in her Penland workshop back in the fall of 2000. I still wish I had one of the beautiful woodfired boxes she made during the class.

Participating artists include Leanne Ash, William Baker, Hayne Bayless, Nicholas Bivins, Jason Burnett, Melisa Cadell, Kyle Carpenter, Julie Covington, David Crane, Susan Fagan, Marty Fielding, Becca Floyd, Erik Haagensen, Kent Harris, Bryan Hopkins, Shawn Ireland, Peter Karner, Ani Kasten, Jennifer Kincaid, Jeff Kleckner, Michael Kline, Eric Knocke, Ryan McKerley, Brooke Noble, Ronan Kyle Peterson, Rob Pulleyn, Emily Reason, Lindsay Rogers, Jenny Lou Sherburne, Liz Summerfield, Joy Tanner and Jerilyn Virden.
