This Friday we will be showing Jeff Oestreich. Jeff is a full-time studio potter who followed his formal education at Bemidji State University and the University of Minnesota with an apprenticeship with Bernard Leach. His utilitarian pottery has strong visual ties to Art Deco Architecture. Soda fired with minimal use of colored glaze, Jeff’s work is thrown and altered, either by faceting, stretching, or cutting and rejoining. The main subject matter of his work is function and he is concerned with how his pottery will work in a domestic setting. Accompanying Jeff we’ll be showing New Work by Susan Dewsnap and Jim Gottuso. The show opens this Friday, January 27, at 9:30 AM CST in the Iowa City gallery and online at 10:00 AM CST.
