September 11 – 13
Northern Clay Center announces its annual fundraising benefit and celebration of the art of the pot: the 2009 American Pottery Festival, September 11 – 13. If you like pots, potters, and other people who like pots, this event is for you. The three-day Festival draws together collectors, artists, students, and clay buffs, providing everyone with an opportunity to share their love of clay, and also bringing in much needed revenue for both the participating artists and for NCC exhibition and artists’ support programs.
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). Walter Ostrom, who recently retired from his long-time position at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, will be the special featured guest, who will deliver a lecture on Sunday morning.
For all the details check out the Northern Clay Center website.
