Upcoming Show
Next Show:
Michael Kline

Michael
Kline has recently participated in many of AKAR’s group exhibitions.
This week he has his own show where we see even more of his wood fired,
salt glazed work. The flora on Michael’s utilitarian pottery is inspired
by the mountains of North Carolina. In his own words, “Strong pottery
form and patterns that evoke the complexity of this natural environment
continue to guide my interests in this current body of work”.


Next New Work:
Doug Navarra

New
Yorker, Doug Navarra, has participated in our Yunomi Invitational since
2011. This month is the first that we’re showcasing a variety of his
utilitarian work. Doug’s pots are focused on what he considers “a living
tradition”. He wants his work to have a sense of timlessness as well as
a feeling of present time. Doug wants his pots to express themselves
through the balance of glaze and form, and not to be overpowered by
special effects.

Shows opens this Friday, January 25th, at 9:30 AM in the Iowa City gallery and online at 10:00 AM CST.

A Tile and a Vessel Exhibit: Call for entry

The CLAY 2013 International Juried Exhibition, A Tile & A Vessel,
will focus on a unique pairing: a tile and a vessel. The dynamic
between these two clay pieces is intriguing. The tile, typically
two-dimensional in nature, has the opportunity to express itself even
further through the three-dimensionality of the vessel. The vessel,
traditionally referring to a container, must exist in unison with the
tile. They must relate, play off of each other, and be unified in some
element of design.
Deadline for Entry: April 30, 2013
Date of Exhibition: August 2-3-4, 2013
Location of Exhibition: Silver City, New Mexico
Juror: Christy Johnson, Director of the American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA)
First Place: $1000.00
Second Place: $750.00
Third Place: $500.00
Tile Heritage Prize: $200.00
