“Moiré” from Jack Tompkins on Vimeo.
Client → Sam Brennan [3D Designer]
Turnaround → 4 weeks
Project Summary → Moiré is an enquiry into material and process.
My interest lies in where craft processes lie in contemporary design.
In this project I have subverted one of the oldest crafts in existence,
the coiling of clay, by automating the process using an extruding
machine. Once fired this uniform layered construct of ceramic produces
startling results, the ceramic actually behaves like a spring.
The dip dying process is again another process not usually associated
with ceramics, however I found that the porosity of the work lended
itself to absorbing colour. The piece is of no practical function but
demonstrates how, once put under different conditions, we can still
cause a material to behave completely unexpectedly.

Artist’s Statement:
My influences include all of the spectacles of modern times including the circus, the rodeo, county fairs, Mardi Gras / Carnival, rock and roll, casinos, and other assorted roadside attractions which exude a gaudy specialness. My work is an attempt to combine these influences with an archaeological interest in cave paintings, Greek story pots, and ancient stelae to create objects for the modern stone age family.
Here is short bio:
After a series of unfortunate delivery room high-jinks (sic), Mr. Reynolds found himself being raised by a ruthless pack of cruelly discarded professional sports team mascots who sometimes shot him from a canon for their own amusement. As a child, he was forced to dig up un-civil war relics from an ancient battle site to trade with members of the intergalactic jet set that frequently made visits to the abandoned rail yard where he lived. At night, while the elders of his pack were off performing the rare and sacred mascot family dance, he would secretly refine his skills in “the craft that dare not speak it’s name” to pass the solitary hours. As soon as he was old enough to cross the tracks by himself, he discovered an entire underground network of others engaged in the creation of something out of nothing. Mr. Reynolds then joined this troupe of merry pranksters on their non-stop tour of the finest shopping malls around the world. He continues to marvel at the never-ending cleverness of those that make and of those that make do. If you spot him these days, and are confident that you remember the secret handshake, feel free to approach him and ask for the cosmetic secrets of your favorite pop stars. He’ll know!

My
journey into clay began with my love of all things beautiful (art,
music, nature). After taking a pottery class in 2004 I fell in love with
creating beautiful things out of clay. Although in the first few years I
took a few pottery classes, I have further developed my work through
attending many demonstrations and workshops. Most of my development has
been through experimentation.
In 2008 I started selling my work
at art and pottery festivals where my work was done primarily on the
potter’s wheel. My work was functional and very colorful. Then in
December 2012 after taking the class at the John C. Campbell Folk School
with Sylvia Coppola, I now enjoy making most of my pieces with a
combination of slab and wheel techniques. The new pieces are more
decorative, though some remain functional.
My
work has been exhibited at various shows at Mint Hill Arts where
recently I won first place in the 3D category at the Winter Juried show
and in 2011 I won an honorable mention for my tall coffee pot at the
Juried Spring show. Recently I also won first place for my butterfly
cruet at the Summer Art Explosion show at Falling Rivers Gallery as well
as an honorable mention for my Teapot on Fire at the Members Only show
in November. My goal in 2014 is to have my own show at a local gallery.
New Day Pottery can be found at Art Fairs, exhibits around North Carolina and in various gift shops and galleries.
